ENGINEERING INVESTIGATION AND TESTS WHICH FURTHER SUBSTANTIATE SYSTEM FEASIBILITY AND PROVIDE DATA RELATIVE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NUCLEAR LOW ALTITUDE SUPERSONIC VEHICLE. PART II. TECHNICAL INFORMATION. VOLUME 10. NUCLEAR RADIATION EFFECTS. TEST NO. 18. FLYAWAY
Abstract
Presented in this document are the test results of Nuclear Radiation Effects Tests No. 18 which was a dynamic credibility demonstration conducted in the Air Force Ground Test Reactor during the time period of 29 July through 5 August 1964. This work was performed in support of Air Force Contract AF33(657)- 12517. Planning and execution of the irradiation provided specific test data on subsystems, components, and materials representative of those which would be used in a nuclear powered ramjet missile. The test articles evaluated were the product of an extensive development program to provide nuclear radiation tolerant subsystems which would meet the LASV-N performance characteristics. The test articles representing the major subsystem areas(digital computer simulator, A to D shaft position encoder, magnetic core controlled multiplexer, two axis inertial platform subsystem, rate gyros and accelerometers, and electromechanical filter system) were dynamically irradiated during a total exposure of 187 Mw-hrs.
