'MERF' The BRL Mobile Experimental Research Facility

Abstract

The development of a mobile instrumentation van for collecting and processing data at remote test firing sites has fulfilled a long time requirement of the Interior Ballistics Division of the Ballistic Research Laboratory. It has provided a quick response capability for making many accurate measurements on a number of gun test programs at remote locations. The van was equipped with the latest state-of-the-art instrumentation and enough flexibility was built into the design to accommodate most types of measurement programs.
