Interior Ballistic Modeling for Blank Ammunition,

Abstract

The 1973 Yom Kipper War emphasized that adequate field training was essential for an effective modern mechanized army. There evolved, therefore, the requirement (1) to fire the .50 caliber M2HB and M85 machine guns during training exercises. As a result, blank ammunition for .50 cal weapons is currently being developed as part of the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) program. This paper describes a computer model which would aid in the design of the ammunition and Blank Firing Attachment (BFA) for these systems. (Author)
