Flight Tests for Prototype Felt Wedge/White Phosphorous Improved Smoke Concept

Abstract

Four 155mm prototype felt-sedge/phosphorous payload projectiles were tested for flight stability at Charge 4 from an M109A1 weapon. A simulant for liquid white phosphorous was used during this test. Launch disturbances up to 12.5 degrees were induced. The four projectiles were stable.
