8-LB CHARGE HOB EXPERIMENT REPORT

PHASE I PROPOSES TO GATHER THE DATA AND DISCRIPTIVE INFORMATION FOR A 28-SHOT SET OF EXPERIMENTS MADE IN THE EARLY 1970'S TO MEASURE HIGH OVERPRESSURE AIRBLAST FROM 8-LB CHARGES OF PBX-9404, TO PREPARE A WORK PLAN AND PROCEDURES FOR COMPLETING THE DATA PROCESSING FROM THE EXPERIMENTS, CHECKOUT THE PROCEDURES WITH SAMPLE ANALYSES, AND TO PREPARE A COST ESTIMATE FOR PHASE II. THE COMPLETION OF PHASES I AND II WILL PROVIDE A DETAILED DOCUMENTATION OF THE TEST PROCEDURES, FACILITY, EQUIPMENT, AND RESULTS. THE RESULTS REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES DATA BASE FOR HE HEIGHT-OF-BURST OVERPRESSURE FROM LESS THAN 6 BARS TO 1 KBAR.
