SHAPED CHARGE HYPERVELOCITY PROJECTOR ADVANCEMENT AND DATA GATHERING.
Abstract
The Eglin hypervelocity range was modified to incorporate vacuum-pumping equipment capable of simulating a pressure equivalent to an altitude of 200,000 ft. within the test chamber. Tests were conducted to verify performance of these modifications and to train Air Force personnel in the techniques and intricacies of data accumulation using the explosive shaped charge projector. At the Chino Hills Laboratory approximately two hundred explosive shaped charge projector experiments were conducted, with particular emphasis given to increasing the mass, velocity, and dispersion of projectiles formed by these projectors.
