'Frontal Pressure'; As a Second Arming Environment for Fuzes Launched from Smooth Bore Barrels,

Abstract

Theoretical studies and empirical investigations presented in the report will prove that frontal pressure does exist, that this physical phenomena may well be one of the most reliable environments a projectile encounters from gun launch to the target, and that the use of this environment might solve the perplexing problem of satisfying MIL-STD-1316A for non-spin gun-launched ammunition.
