Vulnerability Assessment of Selected Charges Involving Heterogeneous Configurations of JA2 Sticks and Ball Powder.

摘要

Several propellant charges using heterogeneous configurations of JA2 sticks and ball powder were evaluated with respect to their response to a shaped charge jet direct impact. Vulnerability tests were performed on the JA2 and ball powder propellants separately and together. The test results show that the JA2+ball powder configurations gave a response no better than the JA2 alone. Separate tests of loose and compressed powder showed that the compressed sample gave a 37% increased response over the loose sample....
