FEASIBILITY TEST OF A POTENTIAL METEOROLOGICAL SHELL FOR THE STANDARD 175 MM GUN.

Abstract

The acquisition of timely meteorological data has a great bearing on the accuracy of placement of artillery rounds. This report describes the results of a program which was conducted by the Ballistic Research Laboratories (BRL) at the NASA Wallops Island facility to determine the feasibility of employing the standard 175 mm gun and a modified shell to obtain meteorological data quickly.
