The Ballistic Modeling Division has made transmittance | |
measurements at selected regions of the electromagnetic | |
spectrum through various aerosols in field environments. | |
The measurements have been obtained with visual, near | |
infrared, far infrared, and millimetre wave | |
instrumentation. Live firings were conducted at Fort | |
Sill, Oklahoma, using mortar- and artillery-delivered | |
hexachloroethane (HC) and white phosphorous (WP) | |
munitions. At Fort Hood, Texas, 2.75-inch rockets were | |
launched from helicopters to deliver WP wick-produced | |
smoke. The smoke testing has also included HC and fog oil | |
smoke pots as well as red phosphorous grenades launched | |
from vehicles. The aerosol testing has included | |
measurements through both smoke and dust clouds. A | |
discussion of the tests, the spectral regions measured, | |
the equipment used, the type of data collected, and an | |
analysis of the results are presented. | |
