Aerodynamics, Dimensions, Inertial Properties, and Performance of Artillery Projectiles

Abstract

The best available aeroballistic information on currently fielded and in-development US Army artillery projectiles (105mm and up) for indirect fire has been collected or generated and is discussed in the main report. The aeroballistic data includes: dimensions and inertial properties, zoning, compacted firing tables, dispersion, sensitivity coefficients, aerodynamic coefficients estimates, and a bibliography of lethality and vulnerability. A bibliography and available data on guided projectile aerodynamics is also presented.
