Shaped Charge Warhead Effectiveness Simulation Package

We proposed to develop a personal-computer-based toolbox for the development of shaped-charge warheads. Given a shaped-charge configuration, this integrated set of analytical codes will predict the characteristics of the projected jet and its penetration and lethality performance in attaching complex armor systems and other targets containing modern countermeasures. At any stage of the analysis, warhead test data may be introduced for comparison or as the basis for subsequent analysis. In addition, a geometrical description of the warhead and armor system may be output in propoer format for hydrocode analysis. Predicted jet positions and penetrations will asist in the interactive preparation of warhead test plans. The toolbox will be integrated within a seamless, easy-to-use graphical user interface in a Windows-95 environment.
