PENETRATION SYSTEMS STUDIES REENTRY PHYSIC PROJECT
Abstract
The report describes the results obtained under the Reentry Physics portion of the Penetration Systems Studies contract. The purpose of the contract is to carry out analyses and experiments of hypersonic flow in support of missile detection and discrimination technology. The work comprises the following five tasks: (a) high altitude drag investigation, (b) nonequilibrium turbulent boundary layer, (c) wake turbulence measurements, (d) improved laminar wake, and (e) near wake analysis. The last four tasks fall under the general heading of hypersonic wake and boundary layer technology. The objective and approach for each task is presented together with a summary of the results obtained.
