THE AIR FORCE MATERIALS LABORATORY TERMINAL BALLISTIC RESEARCH FACILITY.
Abstract
The ballistic research facility described in this report was installed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for the Air Force Materials Laboratory by the Research Institute, University of Dayton. The facility has a capability for launching conventional small arms projectiles and simulated fragments with controlled velocities at targets of materials under investigation. Still cameras with high intensity, short duration (0.5 microsecond), light sources and high speed framing cameras provide photographic coverage of the impact event. Equipment has been provided to apply or simulate external stresses to a sheet or structural target during impact. (Author)
