Rehabilitation of Range Impact Areas - Personnel Protection,

Abstract

Trials were conducted to establish the level of protection necessary against fragments from a detonating 5.5 in HE shell; to measure overpressures at the driver's position and the attenuation of these overpressures by a protective cabin. This report describes the trials, the results obtained and a design procedure used to predict the overpressure within a protective cabin. (Author)
