Acoustic Directivity Patterns for Army Weapons. Supplement 1

Abstract

This report gives the acoustic directivity patterns for the LAW and TOW antitank weapons and three routinely used weapon simulators. These data supplement the directivity pattern data measured and analyzed by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) for other weapons in the Army inventory, as reported in CERL Technical Report N-60 (January 1981). These supplemental data have been included in the CERL-developed Integrated Noise Contour System (INCS) and its associated blast-noise prediction computer program, BNOISE 3.2. The Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (AEHA) uses CERL's INCS/BNOISE 3.2 prediction program to help installations implement the Army's Installation Compatible-Use Noise Zone Program (ICUZ).
