The HMSR is designed to perfOrtn a vertical launch maneuver three times faster than existing missiles and have a tum radius approximately eight times less than tbe cur- rent Sidewinder with enough impulse remain- ing to engage an enemy threat. A jet reaaion control devioe gives the missile the ability to fly at extremely high (90 degrees) angles of attack and tum rates of 400 degrees per sec- ond. A high-stiffness airframe allows the mis- sile to perform sustained 60 gravitational foroes (g) lateral acoeleration maneuvers. Based on prior analyses and testing, Kuwaiti F/A-18 air wing compl.ted Finollvllo oI4o.HofDet contingent return to KAF alter NAWC testing 7 Richard (Rick) Boss envisioned the HMSR missile. With that vision and B&P funding, Boss started building a creative, experienced and detertnined team. The tearn's key players are Merlin Phillips (preliminary mechanical engineering designer), Ted Hicks (onmposite case designer), Bob Spenoer (composite case builder), Jim Gross (rocket motor designer), John (Jack) Braun (propellant developer) and Boss himself (auto pilot designer and project coordinator). Additionally, Susan DeMay, Insensitive Munitions Advanced Development (1MAD) Program propulsion manager, was instrumental in funding the rocket motor development and testing. The composite motor case will withstand 4,500 pounds per square inch pounds of inter- nal pressure and is stiffer than metal.

"We wanted to make sure the missile wouldn't bend in- flight..." he said, ''that it wouldn't fly like a banana." To avoid bending, Hicks used a new lay-up pattern for composite winding and designed the motor case and joints that attached to the unpressurized portion of the missile. The pat- tern design was developed with composite design analysis codes (CDAC) that were fed into struaural codes to validate the missile 's stiffness ~ and strength require- ments. These data were used by the computer-controlled fil- ament winder, operated by Bob Spencer, Weapons Prototype Division, to complete the motor case. A total of 16 prototypes were made for testing. Motor case tests included hydrostatic, stiff- ness, modal and ultimate bending. During the bending tests, the case withstood 82g before bending. But, according to Hicks, the greatest success with the case was tbe hydrostatic test of4,500 psi. The rocket motor case diameter of six inches was detertnined by the amount of propellant needed to increase the missile's performance.
