High Intensity Tamp-Cast Illuminating Flare

Abstract

The development of a high intensity tamp-cast illuminating flare is described. The flare produced a luminous intensity of 25 million candles for over two minutes. A brief discussion is included concerning the binder systems used to make the tamp-cast flares along with the assembly of a capability for testing the flares. Summary data of flare tests related to this work is included.
