This application of turbojet engines to tactical missiles and expendable drones has placed significant importance on reducing engine acquisition cost. This paper reviews such an effort - a series of research and development programs wherein a high-production-rate truck engine turbocharger was the basis for the design of a low-cost, expendable turbojet. An integral part of this effort was the adaptation of a low-cost thrust augmentor based on ramjet, sudden-expansion burner technology. Specifically, the design, performance predictions, and test program results are presented. (Se)
