BALLISTIC DISPERSION OF MK 80 SERIES BOMBS DELIVERED IN STICKS BY THE A- 4 AIRCRAFT

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0356868 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The ballistic dispersion of low drag bombs dropped in sticks from the A-4 aircraft is calculated from test data. The data are inadeque to permit determination of whether dispersion depends on slant range or time of fall, but an estimate can be made for delivery parameters of interest.
