Launch Dynamics of the XM1002 Cartridge, 120-mm Target Practice Multipurpose Projectile, TPMP-T

Abstract

This report details the launch performance of the experimental XM1OO2. The study compares the accuracy performance of candidate XMlOO2 designs to aid the development. The results show significant differences in launch characteristic of the two types of projectiles, which are related to their transverse moment of inertia.
