Question: How exactly was Burke planning to convince the others to get an impregnated Newt and Ripley off the planet without causing suspicion from Hicks or the other marines if the facehuggers had succeeded as he wanted?

Answer: The marines worked for the Weyland-Yutani company. They're basically a corporate para-military. Burke was in charge of the operation, so he presumably assumed they, and also Bishop, the company android, would follow his orders, not fully knowing the circumstances. Burke probably intended that most of the marines would also be "infected."
