The purpose was to determine the fast-cookoff characteristics of SHRIKE and SPARROW missiles when exposed to a JP-5 fuel fire. Time to cookoff reaction, type of reaction, and time/temperature data were obtained for each test. These data were analyzed and a hypothesis of the events leading to cookoff of the test items was formulated. These results are being used in the design of retrofit thermal protection systems for in-service missiles. These results are also applicable to the design of thermal protection systems for new missiles.
