In this project, ARDEC completed the development and
testing of a 155-mm gas gun ballistic simulation system
initially designed and constructed by Frankford Arsenal.
The goal of the project was to provide a cost effective
alternate to live explosive gun firings through
simulation of high-g impulse shock in a laboratory
environment. The two tasks were: (1) development of a
lightweight digital memory module (DMM) that would
operate in high-g ballistic shock environment, and (2)
establishment and documentation of the characteristics of
the gas gun simulator with the DMM. A multichannel DMM
using basic digital design, implemented by state-of-the-
art electronic components, was successfully developed.
The newly developed DMM was used to acquire setback and
tangential acceleration data for more than 50 test
firings. The performance characteristics and range
(acceleration amplitude and duration) of the simulator as
a function of extremes in metering hole patterns was
established. The acceleration amplitudes and durations
generated by the simulator can be varied within its
operational range to provide good simulations of gun fire
shock parameters which are not otherwise reproducible in
a laboratory facility. The order of magnitude increase in
duration over diaphragm-type air guns, plus its spin
capability, makes the simulator useful for a variety of
applications in which conventional diaphragm-type air
guns are unsatisfactory.
