Infantry Support Weapons System Technology (Project DES-VAL). A Review of Mathematical Models Relevant to Automatic Weapons.

Abstract

The principal effort of the math-modeling portion of Project DES-VAL (Design and Evaluation of 20-40mm Gun Systems) was in establishing an up-to-date knowledge of existing computer models of automatic weapons. Included in this report is a listing of approximately four hundred documents surveyed for relevance in five separate categories, i.e.: dynamics, vibration, stress, heat transfer, reliability, and math-modeling. A brief account is given of the general course of math-modeling including recommendations for future work. (Author)
