U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command Development Test II (EP) - Common Test Operations Procedures 'Resistance of Armored Vehicles to Severe Shock'

Abstract

The report provides a method for evaluating the resistance of armored vehicle fire control and other components to shock from KE projectile impacts and blast and fragmentation from exploding HE projectiles. It describes acceleration, strain, and deflection instrumentation. The tests include high energy impacts on bare armor and 'sacrificial' armor, graduated energy impacts with proof projectiles, and static detonations of HE projectiles for blast and fragmentation effects. It describes shock data analysis procedures.
