U. S. Army Test and Evaluation Command Development Test II (ET) -Common Test Operations Procedure,Protection by Armored Vehicles Against Kinetic Energy Projectiles.

摘要

The report describes a computational technique for assessing the protection afforded by an armored vehicle against a specific threat (defined in the applicable ROC, DP, or other military requirements document) by a kinetic energy projectile. The attack conditions are limited to ground attack from conventional weapons. Computation is based on previously obtained ballistic data. The report discusses the threat and the protection probability, rationale for the technique, special armor considerations, and prerequisites.
