Yawsonde Testing of Concepts for the 155mm Intermediate Volatility Agent Projectile

Abstract

Three projectile concepts for the 155mm intermediate volatility agent (IVA) system were tested at Dugway Proving Ground, UT, on 2 December 1981. Two launch conditions were fired: Charge M4A2 Zone 4/533 mils and PXR6297/1100 mils. All rounds were yawsonde-instrumented. Yawsonde data did not show any abnormal behavior and all rounds were stable.
