Explosive Charges for Use in Underwater Acoustic Trials.

Abstract

An explosive device, consisting of fuze, booster and main charge, has been developed for generation of acoustic signals at various underwater depths. The signal arises from the fuze, or fuze plus booster, or from all three components. The concept has potential for quantity production of an inexpensive SUS charge but further development to improve reliability is required. (Author)
