Acoustic Directivity Patterns for Army Weapons. Supplement 4. The Multiple Launch Rocket System

Abstract

Environmental noise emissions of the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) weapon were measured in order to develop acoustic directivity patterns. Ignition noise was analyzed using C-weighting and separated from rocket engine noise, which was analyzed using A-weighting. The vehicle track noise, being very similar to that of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), reported in Supplement 3, was not measured.
