Boeing SM-80/LGM-30 Minuteman 1

The Minuteman was the world's first solid-fueled Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), and has been the mainstay of the USAF's ICBM force ever since its deployment. Because international arms reduction treaties will lead to the early retirement of its designated successor, the LGM-118 Peacekeeper, the Minuteman will soon be the only land-based strategic missile of the United States, and remain so for the foreseeable future.

Solid-fueled rockets have obvious advantages when compared to liquid-fueled ones, the most important being very long storage life of the motors, and the lack of time-consuming and potentially dangerous fueling processes. However, when ICBM development began in the 1950s, very large solid rockets were beyond the technology of the time. However, progress was made, and by mid-1957, pre-development studies for a solid-fueled ICBM were firmly under way. In February 1958, the Minuteman program was officially started, and in October that year, Boeing was selected as prime contractor for the new SM-80 Minuteman ICBM.

The SM-80 was a three-stage design, using in its initial version Thiokol M55, Aerojet General M56, and Hercules M57 solid rocket motors for the stages. Auxiliary solid-fuel rocket motors used in the Minuteman design included a Hercules SR11-HP-1 retro motor, and Atlantic Research SR59-AR-1 pitch and SR61-AR-1 spin motors. The missile was guided by an all-inertial navigation system. It was originally planned to base the SM-80 not only in hardened silos, but also on special trains, using the nation's railway network to create mobile ICBM squadrons which would have been all but immune to a pre-emptive strike. However, this plan was dropped in December 1961 for financial reasons. Tests of XSM-80 Minuteman prototypes began in 1960, and in November 1961 the first successful silo launch of an XSM-80 occurred. The first production missiles, designated HSM-80A Minuteman IA, became operational in November 1962. A total of 150 Minuteman IA missiles were deployed in silos.

The Minuteman IA missile was somewhat limited in firepower (its W-59 warhead had a yield of 1.2 MT) when compared to the contemporary SM-65/CGM-16 Atlas and SM-68/HGM-25 Titan missiles. The HSM-80A's guidance system could store only one set of target coordinates, so it was less flexible than later Minuteman models. However, because it could be launched instantly, the Minuteman was the first missile which could make the horror vision of nuclear "turnkey" warfare a reality. Elaborate schemes were therefore set up to prevent accidental or unauthorized firing of the missiles by the launch crews.

The improved HSM-80B Minuteman IB was first deployed in April 1963. The HSM-80B replaced some HSM-80As, and deployment was finished in June 1965 with 650 missiles in silos. The Minuteman IB featured an improved second-stage motor, and a new reentry vehicle and larger warhead, increasing range and firepower. Its guidance unit could store two targets, enabling the missile to switch to a secondary target after launch if the primary couldn't be reached for any reason.

When the mobile basing requirement for the Minuteman was cancelled in December 1961, this also lifted some restrictions on missile size and weight. It was now possible to increase the performance by enlarging rocket stages, as long as the missile would still fit into the silos. Therefore the USAF began the Minuteman II program in 1962, with the missile being designated as HSM-80F. I haven't found any traces of -80C, -80D, or -80E designations, so these were either skipped for unknown reasons, or assigned to preliminary or interim designs before the final Minuteman II. Details of the HSM-80F are discussed below under its post-1963 designation of LGM-30F.

In June 1963, all Minuteman missiles were redesignated in the LGM-30 series as follows:

Old Designation New Designation

HSM-80A LGM-30A
HSM-80B LGM-30B
HSM-80F LGM-30F

  • LONG LIFE Test mission Nation: USA. Agency: USAF 44SMW. Apogee: 1.00 km (0.60 mi). Approved by the Secretary of Defense in November 1964, 'Project Long Life' called for the short-range launch from on operational missile base of three modified Minuteman IB ICBMs to provide a realistic test for this system. Each missile would contain enough propellant for a 7-second flight and have inert upper stages and reentry vehicles. This first launch occurred on March 1, 1965, and successfully demonstrated the ability of a SAC missile crew to launch an ICBM.References: 1228.
