A condensed account is given of the design effort expended in the structural development of the implosion-driven hypervelocity launchers at the Institute for Aerospace Studies, over the past few years. This type of experimental research equipment is subjected to loads whose modes and magnitude do not occur in any other related mechanical arrangement. Therefore, it should be considered as a highly advanced design problem. The design of a strong enclosure and barrel assembly presents a very great challenge from the standpoint of safety and economy of operation, owing to unusually high internal pressures and extreme temperatures. Based on observations made during the running and testing of several launcher models at UTIAS, some recommendations are made at the end of this report with respect to the eventual future development of such launchers.
