Abstract

This work describes the analysis and ballistic range testing to evaluate the performance of rod-like Kill Enhancement Device (KED) penetrators on of multi-layered targets covering large range of densities including high-density material. Tests showed that (1) high-density material can be penetrated at oblique angles of incidence without projectile fragmentation and (2) high explosive within the target can be initiated. Test data from experiments was compared to predictive analyses generated by hydrocodes and found to be in excellent agreement.
