Project ZULU II - Phase I Single-Charge Calibration Series

Abstract

Phase I of Project ZULU II was a laboratory-scale crater modeling experimental series consisting of the detonation of forty-two 1-pound C-4 charges in a moist compacted sand. The primary objectives of Phase I of Project ZULU II were: (1) to calibrate the medium with respect to its cratering characteristics; (2) to determine the reproducibility of the crater dimensions; (3) to conduct surface motion studies; and (4) to study ejecta and fallback distribution as well as the nature of the displacements occurring in the near vicinity of the zero point and the rupture zone.
