XM746 Practice Fuze.

Abstract:

The primary object of the test was to determine function time, smoke cloud size and duration of Ordnance Research Inc. ORI type B type C charges, ARRADCOM MOD E and MOD E1 chargers and the MBA improved TiCl4ARRADCOM MOD E charge. Based on the test results, the best performing ORI and ARRADCOM configuration was to be carried forward for ballistic range testing at Ft. Lewis. In the case of the MBA design, it would be carried forward only if the function time was fast enough to indicate a reasonable probability of success. The function time was adequate to justify continued development.
