Abstract
An energetic solid rocket motor propellant having one or more plateau regions of low operating pressure exponent is disclosed. The propellant is formulated from ingredients including an energetic polyoxetane, an effective amount of a plasticizer, an inorganic oxidizer in at least two discrete particle size ranges, and a refractory oxide burn rate modifier.
