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.

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. For four years, Jack Braun
