U -- ON-SITE TERMINAL BALLISTICS COURSE SOL W813LT-0055-7035 DUE 040300 POC Brenda Fletcher, Contract Specialist, 410-278-8675, Jean Craig, Contract Officier, 410-278-6517 Hold a Terminal Ballistics course at B247 APG-AA, MD from 1-5 May 2000. The class size will be 17 students. The course shall cover the terminal ballistics of kinetic energy(KE)and shaped charge (SC) penetrators and their interaction before, at, and beyond a given target array. KE penetrators for both small and large caliber systems will be discussed at all velocity levels for rolled homogeneous steel,aluminum, and ceramic composites at various target obliquities. The material properties of KE, SC penetrators and armors will be emphasized; explosively formed penetrators will also be covered. Analytical modeling of KE and SC projectilies shall be shown along with projectile plate interaction for long rods, and comparison and correlation of models with experimental data. Emphasis shall be placed on the practical, experimental and theoretical, in that order. Equations shall only be used to explain a concept.
