What type of fuel is used by the RAM missile system?

The RAM (Rolling Airframe Missile) missile system uses solid fuel for propulsion. Solid fuel is composed of a mixture of fuel and oxidizer that is in a solid state. This type of fuel is advantageous in missile systems because it offers several benefits, such as a simpler storage and handling process compared to liquid fuels, and a faster response time for launch. Additionally, solid fuel allows for a compact design, which is essential for the space constraints often found in naval warfare systems. The use of solid propellant contributes to the missile's reliability and effectiveness in intercepting incoming threats.
