Quantity-Distance Fragment Hazard Computer Program (FRAGHAZ)

Abstract

The Fragment Hazard Computer Program (FRAGHAZ) written in FORTRAN 77 is described by general and detailed descriptions. FRAGHAZ is designed as a tool to estimate the fragment hazards produced by the inadvertent detonation of munitions stacks. Fragmentation data are derived from small-scale arena tests. A separate trajectory is calculated for each recovered fragment using Fourth-Order Range-Kutta numerical integration procedures. Any target may be simulated which can be pproximated by a rectangular parallepiped. Wind and fragment ricochet effects are included. Output is expressed as fragment hazard range versus number of munition units for both areal number density and probability of hit criteria.
