High-G Testing for Fuze Research

Abstract

The Fuzes Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Munitions Directorate, has performed/instrumented numerous experiments in support of fuze development. These experiments include a wide shock spectrum ranging from relatively benign bench level experiments up to high velocity impact into multi-layered hardened structures. In this presentation we will discuss the Air Force requirements for high-g sbock testing for fuze research and our testing and instsumentation capabilities.
