Facebook Twitter Share Roxel Propulsion system craftsmanship Roxel is the European leader in tactical propulsion systems and a major player in world markets. Roxel conducts world-class projects based on its know-how and knowledge, either directly or in cooperation with major players in systems integration or with selected local partners. Based in France and the United Kingdom, Roxel designs, develops, manufactures and sells solid propulsion systems and related equipment for all types of rockets and tactical and cruise missiles for air, sea and ground forces. Roxel has proven capabilities in the chemistry of energetic materials, interior ballistics and mechanical fields, offering its customers bespoke solutions for all elements of propulsion systems (structures, thermal protection, energetic and inert materials). Roxel can meet the most complex requirements in terms of performance, quality and safety. Roxel is the world leader in insensitive munitions (IM) technology for minimum smoke rocket motors. Roxel’s rocket motors are used in all types of missiles and rockets: air-to-air, ground-to-air, artillery, anti-ship, anti-tank, air-to ground, cruise missiles and guided bombs. For instance, Roxel is responsible for propulsion systems used in the following missiles: EXOCET Family, ASTER Family, MAGIC, MICA, MILAN, ASRAAM, RBS15, CAMM, MMP, etc. Moreover, Roxel designs and supplies pyromechanisms, gas generators and a standardised family of motors for the decoy system, target and drone market. Aeronautics: another Roxel activity In 2001, Roxel seized the opportunity to apply its know-how in flow forming to produce thrust link tubes for the Airbus A380 programme. This experience encouraged Roxel to continue exploring new applications for some of its technologies, such as composite materials, which can also meet the requirements of the civil aviation industry. Roxel set up a dedicated team for this activity focused on: • Mechanical components • Composite components History and ownership Roxel is an Anglo-French Group founded in February 2003 by the merging of Celerg of France and Royal Ordnance Rocket Motors of the UK. Learn more Design and production Roxel’s expertise covers the complete life cycle of propulsion system programmes from design and qualification to mass production, in-service support, and disposal, including research and technology. To meet the requirements of its international customers, Roxel makes available project leaders and highly qualified dedicated teams with all the necessary competencies and expertise. Learn more Innovation Roxel designs, develops, manufactures and markets a wide range of high-technology defence systems for air, land, sea and space applications. Thrust modulation Signature control (stealth) Roxel propulsion technologies can be used to design motors with optimised characteristics to meet the requirements of missile manufacturers across the entire spectrum (visible, ultra-violet and infrared). Different propellant formulations are available to comply with the prime requirements concerning the solid rocket motor plume by seeking to reduce or eliminate primary and secondary smoke. In addition, Roxel is able to adjust the design and select the most appropriate inert materials in order to obtain the stealthiest solution. Insensitive munitions Insensitive Munitions (IM) are munitions for which, in the event of physical or mechanical aggressions, the probability of untimely initiation as well as the violence of the reaction and the resulting collateral damages have been reduced. While being safer, IM continue to satisfy performance, availability and employment conditions. Roxel has a world lead in IM technology and is active in developing positive solutions. Roxel has a proven capability of designing systems to withstand different potential aggressions (bullet impact, cook off, fragment impact, sympathetic detonation, safety drops). Roxel contributed to the propulsion system for the British ASRAAM missile and the boost motor system for the Seawolf. Both missiles have been put into service. The ASRAAM rocket motor has the highest IM rating for any missile. Roxel is a member of IMEMG (Insensitive Munitions European Manufacturers Group) and Roxel UK is a member of the MoD’s Joint IM Strategy Group.
