APPLICATION OF FACTORIAL EXPERIMENT AND BOX TECHNIQUE TO BALLISTIC DEVICES

Abstract

In an effort to reduce the time and cost of ballistic experimental development projects, the factorial experiment and Box technique have been applied to ballistic experiments with aircraft seat ejection catapults and rockets, high-low guns, Davis guns, and recoilless rifles. This has resulted in a reduction in the number of rounds fired, with little or no reduction in the validity of the analysis of variance. A detailed discussion of application of the Box technique to the factorial data is presented. This application results in the determination of a zone of suitable performance which makes use of interaction effects to provide greater flexibility in the selection of design parameters.
