Functioning Characteristics of the Bushmaster Gun HEI Projectile

Abstract

Some experimental data have been generated to investigate the functioning characteristics of the fuzed high-explosive projectile associated with the Bushmaster gun as it would be used in an anti-aircraft role. Twenty- four rounds were fired at thin aluminum alloy plate. The main parameters under observation are the time lapse and the distance travelled by the projectiles between projectile impact and detonation. The generated data should be helpful for any assessment of the performance of this projectile used in air defense.
