Abstract:
Two independent series of tests, using five probe types consisting of 33 different model configurations, were conducted. Essentially, the tests presupposed a swivel system and were run at an angle of attack of zero degrees and a Mach number range of M .3 to M .8. An analysis of these probes was undertaken to establish which probe type would determine most accurately the present firing altitude for supplying the primary fuzing signal in a Lacrosse missile equipped with a T-52 Warhead. Ressults indicate that the ogive-cylinder model 2A exhibited the lowest altitude errors with test values of zero or - 18 feet from M .3 to M .5 and increasing to 36 or - 18 feet at M .8.
