Controlled Fragmentation of High Capacity Cylindrical Cased Charge

Abstract

A high capacity cased charge was detonated at Shoeburyness Proof and Experimental Establishment on 4th April 1950. The object of this trial was to determine the efficiency of control to approximately 1/32 oz fragments and to measure the velocity, angular distribution and penetration of such fragments. This note describes the results obtained.
