Proposed Quantity-Distance Rules for Hazard Division 1.2 Ammunition.

Abstract

An extensive hazard division (HD) 1.2 open air testing program has now been completed. A test program investigating in-structure HD 1.2 effects is currently underway. The results of these programs and a literature survey form the basis of a database of MD 1.2 effects. Currently, for quantity distance purposes, HD 1.2 ammunition is treated differently than HD 1.1 items. The database of HD 1.2 effects suggests that this difference is not appropriate. Based on this database, proposed changes to the quantity distance criteria for HD 1.2 ammunition have been developed. This paper will describe those proposed changes. It will then compare the proposed changes with both the current United States and NATO/United Kingdom criteria.
