Abstract:

Task Order No. 0001, Development of Alternate 7.62mm Tracer Formulations, addresses several shortcomings of the currently fielded red-orange bullet tracers, including performance in adverse weather conditions and performance with night vision equipment. The effort that was required consisted of the design and development of one tracer formulation, suitable for the 7.62mm NATO tracer round, for each of four specified spectral frequencies.
