EXPERIMENTAL HIGH INTENSITY FLARE SYSTEMS DATA REDUCTION AND ANALYSIS

Abstract

The data from the experimental high intensity flare systems was reduced to foot-candle, candlepower, and average candlepower measurements and was analyzed for significance. There was no large significant difference in candlepower shown between systems of flares. The horizontal multiple flare systems rated slightly higher in average candlepower than the vertical multiple flare systems. The candlepower was approximately directly proportional to the cross sectional area of the flare. There was good correlation between tunnel data and MAPI data for the Mk 24 Flares. The burning rates for all systems were about the same.
