Infantry Weapons Test Methodology Study. Volume 4. Grenade Launcher Test Methodology

Abstract

This is the fourth in a series of five reports which summarize the findings of the Infantry Weapons Tests Methodology Study conducted by the United States Army Infantry Board. It summarizes findings concerning the operational evaluation of grenade launching weapon systems, and also includes four appendices. Appendix I contains a description of a grenade impact scoring system which was developed during the study. Appendix II is composed of the recommended subtests for evaluating grenade launcher performance. Appendix III contains a description of an analytical technique for evaluation of weapon system performance; this appendix and the methodology described under Objective 2 are designed to provide the basis for an operational tests procedure for grenade launching weapon systems. Appendix IV is a technical memorandum which describes the method used to determine the resolution and accuracy of the grenade impact scoring system.
