Maximum Missile Ranges from Surface and Buried Explosions
Abstract
The ballistic boundaries, or maximum ranges of ejected material, for many applicable surface and buried explosions are summarized and scaling expressions are derived which will be helpful in predicting the ballistic boundaries for explosions of other energies. In establishing safety zones it is advisable to multiply predicted boundaries by a factor of 1.5 to 2.0, because of a finite probability that the boundaries observed for a limited number of events will be exceeded if more shots are fired.
