The project form ARDB was undertaken for analysis and optimization of pulse detonation engine parameters experimentally. The combustion tube length, diameter, Schelkin spiral dimensions were optimized for maximum thrust obtained from the PDE. Flow control and fire control systems were developed and used for the purpose. The installation of PDE as a sustainer in a missile was also undertaken and found that it can be integrated.

The parameters of the combustor of PDE have been optimized for maximum thrust from the engine. The PDE system has been analyzed to be eligible for missile propulsion system as sustainer. Flow control system and fire control systems have been developed. The test rig has been tested for a frequency of 20 Hz.
