Instrumentation Support for the Huron King Underground Test.
Abstract
An SGEMP experiment was fielded on the Huron King underground test (UGT) at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The SAI Las Vegas office designed and operated a recording system that collected data from the SGEMP experiment. The recording system contained 350 wideband oscilloscopes and 11 magnetic tape recorders, plus ancillary equipment, that were mounted in six instrumentation trailers. SAI provided all engineering and technician support necessary to design and operate these trailers. SAI collected and processed all shot data as well as preshot calibration data. Special hardware was provided to support systems calibration and data recording. X-ray and gamma trigger diodes also were fielded. Their purpose was primarily to trigger the recording system oscilloscopes. A secondary purpose was to quantify the radiation level near the top interior of the experiment tank. A total of 512 measurements were made. They were recorded on scopes and tape recorders that yielded 753 data records. Measurements refer to sensors that recorded field strengths, currents, and voltages throughout the test vehicle. Additional measurements were made to verify proper performance of the EAGE, receipt of sequence commands, and general housekeeping data.
