Douglas M31/M50/MGR-1 Honest John

The Honest John was the U.S. Army's first nuclear-armed surface-to-surface rocket.

Development started in May 1950, when Restone Arsenal was tasked with the development of a large caliber unguided solid-fuel field artillery rocket with a capability for nuclear armament. In late 1950, Douglas was contracted to develop the new rocket, to be named Honest John. Flight testing began in June 1951, and in January 1953, the first limited-production Honest John rockets, designated Artillery Rocket XM31, reached U.S. Army units. In September 1953, the Honest John was reclassed as M31, and the first operational units were deployed in Europe in Spring 1954.

The M31 Honest John was an unguided 762 mm artillery rocket, powered by a M6 solid-fuel rocket engine, and spin-stabilized in flight by two M7 spin motors. Of all U.S. nuclear weapons of the 1950's, the Honest John was the easiest to operate. The rocket was transported from the depot to the launching unit by truck and trailer in three parts (warhead, motor, fins). Assembling the rocket, and mounting it on the M289 launcher was then accomplished by six men with a crane in about five minutes. The rocket was then ready for aiming and firing to a range between 5.5 km (3.4 miles) and 24.8 km (15.4 miles). Because of its simplicity, Army units actually preferred the Honest John to the guided MGM-5 Corporal and MGM-18 Lacrosse missiles.

In 1954 production switched to the M31A1 model with a slightly improved M6A1 rocket motor. Further improvements of the rocket motor resulted in the M31A1C (late 1956), and the M31A2 (1959, M6A2 motor). Production of the M31 basic Honest John continued until 1960, with almost 7800 rockets built.

As early as 1955, the Redstone Arsenal started looking for a major improvement of the Honest John, tentatively known as XM31E2. Contractual problems with Douglas, as well as technical difficulties of finding a new rocket configuration delayed the program, but in 1957 Douglas had completed the design of the improved Honest John, now known as XM50. Flight tests of the XM50 started in June 1958 and continued through July 1959. In 1960 production of the Honest John switched from the M31A2 to the XM50, and the first XM50 rockets reached operational units in 1961.

The XM50 Improved Honest John had a significantly improved solid-rocket motor, being lighter and yielding higher thrust, and had completely new square-tipped fins for much improved stability. These changes almost doubled the range, and significantly increased the accuracy of the rocket. In December 1962, the XM50 was reclassified as M50. There was also a product-improved version designated M50A1.

In June 1963, all Honest John rockets were redesigated in the MGR-1 series, as follows:

Old Designation New Designation
M31 (all variants) MGR-1A
M50 MGR-1B
M50A1 MGR-1C

Production of the MGR-1B/C (M50) versions ended in 1965, after more than 7000 rockets had been built. By the late sixties, the MGR-1A had been completely replaced by the newer versions. In 1973, the MGM-52 Lance began to replace the MGR-1, and Honest John was relegated to U.S. Army National Guard units. In 1982, the last Honest John was discarded by the National Guard.

Four Gosling motors with canted nozzles were used as boosters for the British Thunderbird ramjet surface-to-air missile. 664 Gosling IV motors were supplied for the Thunderbird, Bloodhound, and Seaslug Mark II missiles.

For sounding rocket applications, motors were supplied with in-line nozzles. The Gosling IV had an a all up mass of 256 kg, was 3.00 m long, and 0.254 m in diameter. It produced an average thrust of 124 kN over its 3.15 second burn time.

Taurus Orion. Sounding rocket. Status: Active.

2 stage vehicle composed of 1 x Taurus (Honest John motor) + 1 x Orion. Payload 68 kg to 260 km or 227 kg to 140 km.

The Taurus-Orion was a two-stage, unguided, fin stabilized rocket system which utilized a Taurus first stage booster and a surplus Army Orion rocket motor for the second stage propulsion. The Taurus motor had four equally spaced modified Ajax fins, and the Orion motor had four fins on the aft end arranged in a cruciform configuration to provide stability. The standard payload for the Taurus-Orion had a principal diameter of 36 cm and utilized various nose cone fineness ratios. The normal payload length varied from about 1.8 to 3.8 m although this was not the maximum envelope. Payloads from 23 to 36 cm in diameter were also flown on the Taurus-Orion.

Standard hardware included a separable clamshell nose cone and an Orion Standard Ignition System. A clamped interstage was available to provide better stability for vehicle configurations with very long payloads. Separation systems could be provided to separate the payload from the motor during ascent.
