Abstract:

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory ARL conducted the material test systems MTS servo-hydraulic tester SHT high-rate mechanical response of one lot of Naval Surface Warfare Center NSWC-manufactured high-energy gun propellant. The material was designated as GEM Reprocessed by the NSWC and given a lot number of IH94000WPB26-0116. The lot was a candidate propellant for the Navy 5-in62 gun round test sets 17-19Fiscal 01.
