Proposed U.S. Quantity-Distance Rules for Hazard Division 1.2 Ammunition
Abstract
An extensive Hazard Division (HD) 1.2 open-air testing program has been completed and is being reported on separately at this seminar. The results of both this program and a literature survey form the basis of a data base of HD 1.2 effects. Currently, for quantity-distance purposes, HD 1.2 ammunition is treated differently than HD 1.1 items. The data base of HD 1.2 effects suggests that this difference is not appropriate. Based on this data base, proposed changes to the US quantity-distance criteria for HD 1.2 ammunition have been developed. This paper will describe those proposed changes. It will then compare the proposed change to the US criteria with both the current US and NATO/UK criteria.
