34th International Symposium on Ballistics, May 1923, 2025, Jacksonville, Florida

Description

170 selected papers included Includes a new section on AI in ballistics Presents high-level research on various caliber guns, cannons, warheads, shells, bullets, and other launchers and penetrants, as well as their impact effects on natural and designed materials, including large-scale targets and body armors, and the effect of sound suppression on dispersion Critical information on forensic recovery techniques, artificial intelligence, emerging explosives, propellants, projectiles, missiles, railguns, artillery, bullets, and more This book makes available original ballistics technology from around the world on a wide variety of weapons and their effects, including the design and trajectory/stability control of dozens of projectiles ranging from shells to missiles. The books authors discuss the efficacy and development of propellants, munitions, and igniters and offer new approaches for modeling and testing. Also investigated in Volume 1 is additive manufacturing of armament and explosive devices, gradient printing of energetic materials, warhead mechanisms, latest ballistics developments in hypersonics, and mechanical behavior of multiple types of explosives. Volume 2 offers research on impact and penetration data from projectile effects on surfaces ranging from natural phenomena such as water, to metallic plating and material-engineered armors. Recent advances in reactive fragments, which provide enhanced terminal effects, are presented. Detailed analyses of the terminal effects of shaped charge jets are reported.
