Red Wasp program : U.S. Army boosts FIM-92 Stinger missile range with advanced ramjet propulsion

The integral rocket solid-fuelled ramjet works by combining two propulsion phases: an initial boost from a standard rocket motor and a follow-up air-breathing ramjet phase that extends flight duration and range. Because it draws in external air during the ramjet phase, the missile does not need to carry all its oxidiser onboard, allowing for improved performance.
