The Martin Martietta “Sprint” missile may look kind of goofy and modest…



…but this — in my opinion — is the most no-nonsense weapons the US has ever fielded.

This was an ABM — anti-ballistic missile — defence weapon. In the 1960’s this was supposed to destroy incoming nuclear warheads.

How it did that is spectacular, in every step of the way…

The missile was stored in silos. When it was to be launched, the cover over the silo was ejected with explosive charges

An explosively activated piston threw the missile out of the silo

The first stage started and propelled the missile for only 1.2 seconds. But the thrust of that stage was 40% of the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket engines

Stage 2 kicked in and within 5 seconds of launch, this missile was at 10 times the speed of sound, or more than 3.2 km / 2 mi per second, or 12,250kph / 7,610mph. The peak acceleration was about 100g

The missile “coasted” up to the target within 15 seconds. During that time, the speed was such that the drag against the atmosphere made its nose glow white hot at 3,400 °C / 6,200 °F. This caused a plasma field around the missile to block its radio commands from the ground, so they had to have very powerful transmitters to punch through this plasma.

In the 1960’s, they were still not very good with fine precision when it came to making objects meet at a relative speed of over 20 times the speed of sound. So the Sprint killed in the incoming nuclear warhead, with a nuclear explosion of its own. The W66 warhead was a miniature nuclear device that produced an “enhanced radiation” blast, and simply instantly radiated the enemy nuke so it could not function.

So, how does this work?

In two ways…

The intense neutron radiation damages the weapon’s sensitive electronics that are needed to trigger the detonation, with the hope that they will be disabled and fail to function.

The neutrons will contaminate the fissile materials of the nuclear warhead to throw the parameters needed for a successful detonation out of whack, essentially making the weapon a “fizzle”.
