Experiments - Equipment
| Experiments: |
In the target bunker and large caliber firing range, kinetic energy projectiles up to and including 40 mm can be fired at targets that may contain explosives. Fragmenting ammunition up to 76 mm and weapon systems up to 105 mm can be evaluated.
The target bunker is designed and proven to withstand detonations of up to 25 kg of high explosives. In addition to standardized guns and accelerators, the laboratory has 29, 50 and 78 mm laboratory powder guns available. The maximum attainable velocity is 2500 m/s for a 0.5-kg launch package. A vacuum target chamber is available for studying material properties under impact conditions.
