Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC), Validation Engineering Division (SJMAC-DEV), was tasked by DAC, Maintenance Engineering Division (SJMAC-DEM) to test the Ammunition Peculiar Equipment (APE) 1995 NIR Propellant Analyzer, to MIL-STD-398, "Military Standard Shields, Operational for Ammunition Operations, Criteria for Design of and Tests for Acceptance." The test was conducted with the APE 1995 fully loaded with M1 propellant and placed inside the FOSS 5000 Near Infrared Spectrometer. The ignition of this propellant was for test purposes only and not part of normal operations for testing the M1 propellant.
