ON THE INFLUENCE OF REFLECTIONS FROM THE ENVIRONMENT ON HERO TEST RESULTS.
Abstract
The study to estimate the degree of hazard to ordnance caused by electromagnetic radiation is being approached through a series of research tests designed to identify the significant variables and their interactions. This paper is concerned with a study of the effect of reflecting objects surrounding the weapon system on the current induced in the ordnance's electroexplosive devices (EEDs). In a shipboard environment, many objects reflect electromagnetic radiation; e.g., superstructure, aircraft, vehicles and equipment. The simulated shipboard environments (NWL 'Ground Planes'), which are used for Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) testing, include metallic transmitter vans that are reflecting objects. The transmitter vans were used in this study as typical reflecting objects to estimate the effect of reflections.
