Abstract:
This report documents the Cylindrical Warhead Design Optimization segment of the Weapons Optimization Techniques computer program. This segment enables the user to optimize or parameterize the basic design parameters of a theoretical warhead for a given target or set of targets. The warhead lethality is determined as a function of the basic design parameters warhead weight, warhead volume, warhead diameter, charge-to-metal ratio, fragment mass, ratio of warhead length to diameter, and fragment height-to-width ratio. This segment can also optimize or parameterize height of burst, terminal velocity, impact angle, and fragment spray angle.
