WEAPON-TO-WEAPON PROPAGATION TEST I AND II.

Abstract

An evaluation of weapon-to-weapon propagation involving quantitative blast parameter measurements was performed. Two cased donor charges -- one of 50 lbs., one of 100 lbs. -were fired in separate tests to ascertain the effectiveness of a barricade system in preventing acceptor charge detonation when the system is confined within a steel-reinforced concrete storage structure. The quantitative information resulting from these measurements is presented in tabular form. (Author)
