STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF MEDIUM MORTARS

Abstract

The program of test firing for the medium mortars M29 and T227E2 is described. The range facilities, instrumentation and planned statistical test program are also discussed. The data obtained from test groups completed are included and sample firing traces are shown. An analysis of the data is presented in which the recorded phenomena are interpreted and related to potential design and performance parameters and problems.
