Simulant reaction temperature measurement via telemetry for the XM736 at charge 9
Abstract
Six XM736 projectiles were fitted with a payload temperature measurement/telemetry system and fired at Charge 9 with flight times of approximately 100 seconds. Temperatures of the reaction produced by the liquid simulants were as high as 350 C during the terminal portions of the trajectory. These high temperatures may be related to recent base failures that occurred during safety tests.
