STATISTICAL ESTIMATION OF DAMAGE TO ORDNANCE EQUIPMENT EXPOSED TO NUCLEAR BLASTS

Abstract

This project was concerned with obtaining sufficient data for determination of a method to predict damage to ordnance equipment exposed to nuclear blasts. The following number of various ordnance items were exposed to provide a means for a statistical estimation of damage:cks, 2-1/2 Ton M-35 - 27 each; Trucks, 1/4 Ton M-38Al - 27 each; 57 mm Guns, M-1 - 27 each; 105 mm Howitzers, M-3 - 5 each; and 90 mm AA Gun, M-1A1 - 2 each. In addition, six armored vehicles were obtained from Camp Desert Rock for exposure.
