Dissemination of Solid and Liquid BW Agents
Abstract
Research on dissemination of solid and liquid BW agents was directed towards the development of weapon systems for the dissemination of these agents as a line source from high speed low-flying manned and unmanned aircraft. The results of experiments on feeding of finely divided solid materials with helical screws and piston devices are presented. Experiments on dissemination and deagglomeration are described including preliminary investigations of aerosol generation by erosion and also with a liquid CO2 system. Deagglomeration experiments were in a high-subsonic wind tunnel. Characteristics of finely divided materials are given. Aerodynamic data for wingmounted external stores and the effects of the external geometry and the pylon design on the incremental drag coefficients are discussed.
