Abstract
The development and operational deployment of air-, sea-, and ground-launched cruise missiles may be the most significant advance in the U.S. strategic and tactical weapon systems in the next several years. Both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy have developed specially synthesized liquid hydrocarbon fuels which are used in the air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) and the sea-launched cruise missile (SLCM). The preparation, properties, and performance of these and other high-energy fuels are described. These fuels have extended the range of cruise missiles approximately 15% over that which could be achieved with conventional fuels.
