本报告提供了美国电热化学推进研究情况的综述。系统研究指出，电热化学推进对不同作战任务区域是一个有生命力的方案．最有前途的是战区导弹防御、反舰导弹防御和对极大射程的间接火力支援防御。对反装甲应用的结果不是那么清楚。另外，研究指出，需要考虑到减少电能要求（根据现时对脉冲功率作更成熟的计算），同时更主要的是依靠用电能输入控制燃烧的方法，通过增加化学能来提高性能。因此，跨越着新型化学宽广领域的推进剂的发展工作是现今美国电热化学研究工作的主要焦点．报告中呈现的是多种推进剂。显著地增加能量密度（与目前固体推进剂相比）看来是与用电力产生可控的等离子体相兼容。最后，本报告对不同作战任务区域所介绍的美国电热化学计划的现状表明电热化学推进概念正走出实验室并进入到有关下一代武器系统的战场验证阶段．
This report provides a review of the state of the art in thermoelectric advancements in the United States. Systematic studies point out that electrothermal chemical propulsion is a viable solution to different operational mission areas. The most promising are theater missile defenses, anti-ship missile defenses and indirect fire support defenses of great range. The result of anti-armor application is not so clear. In addition, the study pointed out that it is necessary to consider reducing the power requirement (based on the more mature calculation of pulse power at present), and more importantly, relying on the method of controlling combustion with power input to improve performance by increasing chemical energy. Therefore, the development of propellants across a broad spectrum of new chemical fields is the main focus of current thermoelectric research in the United States. The report shows a variety of propellants. Significantly increased energy densities (compared to current solid propellants) appear to be compatible with plasma generation with controllable power generation. Finally, the present state of the United States thermoelectric chemistry presented in various regions of the mission in this report shows that the concept of electrothermal chemistry is moving out of the laboratory and into the battlefield validation phase of the next generation of weapons systems.
