Blinding Flares - A Model Study of a Battlefield Illumination Problem

Abstract

The Night War Game Series 1967 postulated a technique for blinding defence positions on the night battlefield. This report describes the work done, using models, which disproved the practical feasibility of this technique. The model approach was then used to determine effective methods of blinding on the battlefield and field trials carried out to enlarge on these methods. Recommendations are made for further work along the same lines, and also work to help in the design of more effective pyrotechnics generally by using models in conjunction with other techniques.
