Abstract

A family of small, low cost turbojet engines for short life applications is described. The family is based on the J402-CA-400 turbojet engine which was developed during the early 1970’s for the Harpoon Weapon Systems, a tactical, anti-ship cruise missile capable of air, surface or underwater launch. The Harpoon turbojet engine entered production in 1976 and, since then, has spawned a series of derivative applications. These include missile, target, and RPV systems with thrust requirements from 178 to over 535 daN (400 to over 1200 lb). The paper describes the current status of the engine and the relationship of the derivative applications to this baseline configuration.
