Construction and Fielding of TRS (Thermal Radiation Simulation) Units for the MILL RACE High Explosive Event.

Abstract

Thermal radiation simulation units were developed and fielded on the MILL RACE event. The units released over 1 billion calories of radiant energy at a peak power rate of 1.4 x 10 to the 9th power watts. The units were fired in conjunction with the 600 ton MILL RACE event to produce blast and thermal radiation loadings on a variety of structures.
