The Terminal Ballistics of Certain 65 Gram Long Rod Penetrators Impacting Steel Armor Plate
Abstract
This report presents a comprehensive documentation of experimental data generated for the ACT (Automatic Cannon Technology) Program (behind-armor data for long rod penetrators in the 20-40mm size). An adequate kinetic energy penetrator performance data base for long rod penetrators of various designs has been established. In addition, for some of the rounds, behind-target debris has been analyzed to supply a partial basis for debris characterization.
