DEMONSTRATION OF THE FEASIBILITY OF A HYPERVELOCITY CLUSTER WARHEAD
Abstract
This report describes a field experiment conducted to study the feasibility of using only inertial and aerodynamic forces to deploy a cluster of dense, inert, low-drag submissiles into a narrow conical pattern subsequent to burnout of a high-acceleration rocket which has accelerated the warhead to a velocity in the low hypersonic region.
