Development of Alternate 7.62mm Tracer Formulations

Abstract

Task Order No. 0001, Development of Alternate 7.62mm Tracer Formulations, addresses several shortcomings of the currently fielded red-orange bullet tracers, including performance in adverse weather conditions and performance with night vision equipment. The effort that was required consisted of: the design and development of one tracer formulation, suitable for the 7.62mm NATO tracer round, for each of four specified spectral frequencies.
