Abstract:

The object of the test was to develop a method to field test the Exploding Bridgewire EBW System for proper functioning prior to use. Two basic designs were conceived and tested. The first design using a two element spark gap and a calibrated fuse link did not prove successful. The second method using a passive network and a three element spark gap was shown to be capable of yielding an adequate tst for EBW Systems. Author
