A Statistical Approach to Conventional Weapons Experimentation,

Abstract

A statistically based strategy of experimentation has been applied to the Air Force Weapons Laboratory's Conventional High Explosive Blast and Shock test series. The basis of this design and analysis method is reviewed. The purpose of the procedure is the measurement of the various experimental variances and the development of design curves that include confidence bands. Application of the statistical design of experiments impacts the areas of test design, cost, instrumentation layout, instrumentation performance evaluation, and data and parameter analysis. (Author)
