production site bourges production site st médard en jalles production site our sites in france saint médard en jalles site the saint médard en jalles site is the oldest powder manufacturing facility still in operation today in 1660 sir dupérier purchased the land where the site now stands located in the parish of saint médard on which the ruins of an old mill were located around these ruins dupérier built six mills dedicated to pyrotechnic production following dupérier s death in an explosion in 1663 louis xiv entrusted the land to françois berthelot who later purchased it in 1671 the saint médard powder mill officially became state property for the next two centuries the national powder mill only produced black powder also known as gunpowder however the 19th century marked a turning point in the mill s history with the establishment of a production unit for nitrocellulose powder this new powder known as powder b after general boulanger was used as a propelling charge in ammunition for the 75 mm 1897 model field gun the 20th century saw a major evolution in the field of propellants particularly following the research carried out during the second world war this period marked the transition from traditional powders to solid propellants ushering in a new era for the saint médard site by the 1950s new types of propellants had been developed enabling far greater performance using new chemical components these propellants enabled the propulsion of intercontinental missiles thereby driving further expansion at the saint médard site the site includes 160 000 m² of buildings bourges subdray site the subdray site was established in 1963 to conduct the many static firing tests required for rocket motors initially it housed static firing test benches and environmental testing facilities in the meantime sncan became nord aviation in 1970 snias was formed through the merger of nord aviation and sud aviation the latter best known for its successes with caravelle and concorde snias was later renamed aérospatiale the subdray site expanded alongside the launch of r d efforts for second generation missiles including the rocket propelled milan hot roland exocet and as30l and the ramjet powered asmp in 1992 the heads of aérospatiale and snpe decided to merge their propulsion operations to strengthen their position in the solid propellant motor market for all types of tactical and cruise missiles aiming to restructure this industry in france and europe the following year celerg acquired industrial production facilities in bourges where its flagship products were the exocet aster and eryx rocket motors roxel was founded ten years later through the merger with the uk s royal ordnance la ferté saint aubin site the origins of the site in la ferté saint aubin date back to 1936 when edgar brandt acquired the land for the mass production of 20 to 25 mm cartridges propulsion operations began in 1955 with early research on solid propellant motors for matra s first missile programme conducted at la ferté saint aubin in collaboration with matra in 1994 thomson csf and dasa deutsche aerospace decided to combine their armament and tactical missile propulsion operations by creating two joint ventures tda for armament and bayern chemie for propulsion systems with its french subsidiary protac tactical propulsion based in la ferté saint aubin and formed from the site s propulsion department summerfield site uk summerfield site uk the summerfield site was created in the early 1950s in response to the uk s need for a facility dedicated to r d for cast double base propellants the site was operated by the metals division of imperial chemical industries ici and then later renamed the summerfield research station srs the capabilities of summerfield have been expanded over the years with the addition of a static firing test range initially on site in 1952 a lease was secured on 50 hectares of the wyre forest from the forestry commission which is still in use today over the years the wyre forest site has become one of the most advanced testing facilities available it features the only large centrifuge capable of spin launching missiles numerous vibration test benches plus various environmental testing chambers the evolution of propulsion systems has always been closely tied to advancements in propellants and their adaptation to the specific needs of various missile systems i e air to air anti tank etc over time roxel s chemists have developed booster and cruise propellants to meet the unique requirements of each programme the summerfield site has welcomed many industry experts over the years including bernard walkley holder of the patent for the manufacture of laminated strip rocket motor casings which was a ground breaking process at the time this technique was first deployed in summerfield on the saluki motor developed for the blue water nuclear missile project the same technology for producing strong lightweight insensitive motor casings was later used on the troy surface to air missile and continues to be used today in a range of systems including asraam and camm governance sylvie grison
