Ballistically Operated Water Cannon

Abstract

The primary purpose of the program was to develop, design and establish the feasibility of a cartridge actuated pumping system that will rapidly discharge discrete quantities of water at high pressure for crowd control purposes. Subsystem investigation was conducted to optimize cartridge performance with respect to desired pump output performance and establish the overall configuration of the system. Establishment of feasibility consisted of conducting a series of tests and demonstrations to determine the functional capability of the unit.
