Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for manufacturing a modular motor architecture, comprising a rocket motor comprising an extended case with a forward end and an aft end. The forward end features a radial retention interface with a multi-stack polar boss, a multi-stack forward polar boss enclosure, and radial tabs. The multi-stack polar boss is molded using boss molding material into three to twenty radial tabs and is wound into the composite case. The motor includes multiple multi-stack cartridges that house propellant and a central combustion chamber. These cartridges, including a forward cartridge, a primary cartridge, and an aft cartridge, are suspended inside the case and secured co-axially with the composite case by various joints, including polar and aft joints. The aft cartridge is located at the aft end, which features a closure and a nozzle.
