Bullet impact

Small arms attack on decoy flares in either logistic package or loaded in a dispenser is a very likely scenario for helicopters in urban theatres. Thus, it is of considerable relevance to test response of MTV against this type of threat. [Pg.316]

The correlation between impact velocity and heat dose for 218 Mk 2 flares is hsted in Table 19.10. The very high heat dose developed at low velocity was due to the combustion of aU 150 flares. [Pg.317]

Molex no s 2 3 are physical mixts of AN 52—84, K perchlorate 0—20, DNT oil 7—12, baked cork 1—10, A1 powd 5—7 Ca carbonate 1%. They exhibited satisfactory sensitivity to impact, friction, flame initiation, and had excellent stability. Philips (Ref 4) reported on tests of Molex B and BB , manufd by the National Explosives Co. They are described as physical mixts of AN 80.77—85.06, flake A1 6.02—6.10, DNT oil 4.32—5.84, activated cork 2.55—4.47, Ca stearate 1.10—1.99 and Ca carbonate 0.83-0.95%. They were shown to be stable, to have fairly high brisance, but to be sufficiently sensitive to expl in the rifle bullet impact test. Byers (Refs 1 3) describes blasting expls similar in compn...

Myrite. An expl contg a mixt of nitrogen dioxide and carbon bisulfide. Its sensitivity to mechanical influences, brisance, rate of deton, and other expl characteristics were detd at PicArsn in 1940. In view of the fact that it is specially sensitive to rifle bullet impact, and has a rate of deton and brisance considerably lower than TNT, it was concluded that Myrite is not suitable for use as a military expl Ref C.J.

The explosives used for military purposes are different from those used in industry. Not only thermo mechanical power for destruction, but also various other characteristics are required. Experimental tests, such as slow cook-off fast cook-off, bullet impact, and sympathetic explosion tests, must be passed to meet the requirements for insensitive munitions (IM). The aerodynamic heating of warheads on flight projectiles is also an important factor in designing warheads. [Pg.263]
