Underwater Launched Missile System Canister Design

Abstract

This document expands on the canister requirements for an Under-water Launched Missile System (ULMS) as proposed in volume 6 of the 1967 STRAT-X committee Report. Functional flow, environmental requirements and interfaces are identified. Preliminary design sketches, graphs and calculations for the primary structure and missile suspension systems are summarized. Subsystems are identified and discussed. The feasibility of design and construction of horizontally stowed missile canisters for missiles up to 225,000 pounds is verified. The procedures used are considered applicable to the definition and design of other submarine canister systems.
