Internal ballistics is a phenomenon happened in tens of milliseconds during the gun firing. The configuration variables of the solid propellant are important factors which have influences on the performance of the gun system. In this study, the performance analysis of the 7-perforated propellant has been conducted using the numerical program for the interior ballistics. The effect of the configuration variables on the gun system performance has been analyzed. The propellant design has been conducted for the satisfaction of the performance requirements. As results, the relationship between the configuration variables and the performance has been obtained and the basic design concept of the multi-perforated propellant has been provided.

Using the numerical code for the interior ballistics, the performance of the interior ballistics with the characteristics according to the position of the solid propellant in chamber has been investigated. In existing research, propellants have been evenly distributed in the chamber. In this study, however, several cases of the existence of empty space in the chamber at which the propellants are not evenly distributed are considered. The 7-perforated propellant configuration has been used in this research. The results have shown the change of performance of the interior ballistics according to solid propellant positions in the chamber.
