Performance of the Fluidic Power Supply for the XM445 Fuze in Supersonic Wind Tunnels

Abstract

As part of the development of the fluidic power supply of the XM445 fuze, wind tunnel tests of different configurations of the power supply were conducted at the Naval Surface Weapons Center in November 1979. Power supply performance and pressure and temperature measurements within the fuze were recorded at Mach 1.5 and Mach 5 for a range of pressures. Success or failure of any given configuration was based on degree of sensitivity at low pressure and ability to operate at high pressure and temperature. Measurements of temperature and pressure provided new information on conditions in the fuze.
