Closures and Debris-Handling Concepts for Superhard Missile Launch Facilities
Abstract
Research was undertaken to develop preliminary designs of superhard launch facility closures near the limit of survivability and to develop closure operating mechanisms and methods of handling debris. Part I of the document presents a review of known closure and debris handling methods and several concepts for further development. Part II of the document presents a further definition of weapons effects applicable in the range of interest and presents preliminary designs of closure systems which will survive the postulated environment.
