From _____________ TO PLACE STAMP HERE 'BOMROC' Team M UNDER THE SEA TO THE STARS Vol. xx, No. 38 Naval Ordnance Telt Station, China Lake, C.Ufomia Fri., Sept. 24, 1965 IN TEST DEPT. HANDS - In first flight telt of BOMROC, July 30, Clyde Hien.ig, experimental ordnance equipment mechanic, preparel to insert rocket In tube It 0.2 Range, while Art Butler, orclnanceman for ammo and explosives, checks breach. Successful Whirling Fuel lamed By Graphite 'DiHuserl The rise of "conventional" warfare to a higher place on the agendas of strategy planners in the last few years has brought forth new demands on troop·support weaponry, and BOMROC, under development here for the last two years, exemplifies the unconventional achieve· ment needed to keep the U.S. ready at sea. BOMROC is the simple name for an assault·support bom· bardment rocket designed to give twice the reach of previ· ous NOTS·developed five·inch spin . stabilized rockets. The Station's Mark 7 rocket, now in the fleet and being installed in new and recommissioned sup-- port vessels, last soared "for real" at the invasion of Inchon during the Korean War. Propulsion Is The Key "Our big problem in devel. oping a booster and sustainer motor combination for t h i I rocket wa, to cope with the ef- fect of rapid spinning on the bur n i n 9 of the propellant," said Ray W. Feist, head of Pro· pulsion Department's Engin- eering Projects Branch. In order to give BOMROC its doubled advantage 0 v e r previous models, every aspect of propulsion had to be en· hanced, putting heavy stresses on parts. Feist reported that 0 the r ordnance activities had worked on the problem of high·speed spin effect without success, be· fore Propulsion Department's recent solution. Under a 13,OOO-gravity load· ing created by some 250 rev· olutions per second, the solid· Iy filled test cylinder of sus· tainer propellant - called an "end burner" - suffered a whirlpool effect in which burn· ing propellant bored a hole through the forward wall of its compartment in about five seconds. "Diffuser" Solves Problem In a pre'prototype "flight· weight" model free flight test in early August, a device drain· ing burned propellant gas e s from the sustainer motor's cir· cumference to two centrally located nozzles proved itself as a solution to the problem. The team of Code 45 tech· nici.ns that designed and as- sembled the successful config. uration included Jack Yeakey, Lonnie Pauls and Danny Mer· az, all of Engineering Projects Branch. Veakey and Pauls are aerospace engineersi Meraz is an engineering technician. Team leader is David W. Car· penter, who has worked on the BOMROC project since its be· ginning, in 1963. Ron Vetter of Development Engineering Branch and Bill Theilbahr of Materials Technology Branch, headed teaml that developed propellant and heat relistant materials. After the nine·inch long, hoi· low core, extruded booster pro· pellant section fires-in about five seconds-gases from the end·burner sustainer are chan· neled through three tubular drains formed in a graphite block into a steel tube lead· ing through the burned-out booster to two sustainer noz· zles at the rear. "This drain system, or dif· fuser, is pretty well destroyed after the sustainer propellant grain has finished burning," says Carpenter, "but by that (Continued on Plge 3) NOTS Balloonist Captures National Title Second Time Jerry A.
