Typical Reactive Armor Safety Tests

Abstract

This TOP describes methods for determining the explosive hazard classification of vehicle applique armor tiles and for reaching a conclusion of insensitive munition if possible. A secondary objective is to determine the tile-to-tile detonation propagation effects by initiating the center tile of a matrix and observing the reaction of the surrounding tiles
