Yawsonde Flight of 155mm Non-Conical Boattail Projectile- B Configurations at Tonopah Test Range - March 1978.

Abstract

As part of the BRL program to develop the non-conical boattail projectile, twenty 155mm projectiles were fired from an M185 gun tube on 14 and 16 March 1978 at the Sandia Corporation, Tonopah Test Range, Nevada. This is the third phase of the non-conical boattail program. This report describes the experimental plans and presents the data records and some of the results obtained during the projectile flights.
