Hazard Ranges for Small Net Explosive Quantities in Hardened Aircraft Shelters
Abstract
An analysis of all available data has been performed to determine the effects of a detonation of small explosive weights inside the U.S. Third Generation Hardened Aircraft Shelters. An explosive weight for a "Zero Quantity-Distance" event has been established. In addition, the quantity-distances (Q-D) for both blast and fragmentation/debris have been established for charge weights up to 500 kilograms. These quantity-distance ranges are also formulated as proposed changes for both NATO and U.S. Q-D Standards.
