@Chronos nailed “blooming”. Named for the way a chaff cloud looked on an old fashioned analog radar screen. A small spot of light appears and rapidly grows in diameter and brightness then slowly fades over a time of minutes. Like the lifecycle of a flower: quick to appear from a tiny bud, then slow to fade.
Here’s chaff:
On a ship you’re probably looking to defeat the homing radars of anti-ship missiles. In an airplane you’re looking to defeat the same sort of homing radars in anti-aircraft missiles, but also ground- or air-based tracking radars.
In airplanes the high speed of the passing air helps the disperse the chaff cloud very quickly. Ships don’t have that, but need a larger cloud to protect a larger target. So their chaff rounds need to have something to assist in spreading a compact canister into a WAG hundred-plus foot diameter cloud of RF confusion. Presumably some sort of low explosive to create a dispersing cloud without destroying the flimsy chaff itself.
As to the cool anime name, I’d bet that at one time the USN had “chaff launchers”. Then somebody improved those and suddenly they had “rapid blooming chaff launchers”. Then somebody improved those and now (= 1982 when the memo was written) they have “super rapid blooming chaff launchers”. What’s next? “Incredibly awesomely super rapid blooming chaff launchers?” (pronounced “I-Ass-r-bloockel”) of course. You heard it here first!
It appears Hycor was the name of the defense contractor that built the original Mk36 system. Which was later subsumed into first United Defense and later BAE.
The point of the memo was that by citing certain buzzwords from procurement legislation, USN was saying “We really really need this right away, so shortcut the usual 5 year red tape procurement process and just place an additional order with the usual supplier for delivery ASAP.”
