Download or read book High Temperature Solar Effects Testing on Various Munitions written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Persian Gulf War produced concerns about the safety and survivability of ammunition being stored in the desert of Southwest Asia (SWA). The temperatures and solar intensity in SWA were reported to be greater than expected. The ammunition was being stockpiled in the only environment available: on the sand and exposed to high temperatures and long daily periods of solar loading. The U.S. Army Combat Systems Test Activity (USACSTA) at Aberdeen Proving Ground is addressing these safety concerns by conducting a test program in support of Operation Desert Storm to determine the effects of high temperatures and intense solar loading on various types of ammunition. The program involves subjecting ammunition to a diurnal cycle simulating the severe temperature, relative humidity, and solar radiation conditions measured during Saudi Arabian summer days. The test items are placed in solar chambers on a bed of sand and exposed for 30-, 60-, and 90-days. Following conditioning, a variety of laboratory and ballistic tests are performed to assess safety and performance.

This book was released on 2000-04-21 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Gulf War veterans have expressed concerns about health effects that could be associated with their deployment and service during the war. Although similar concerns were raised after other military operations, the Gulf War deployment focused national attention on the potential, but uncertain, relationship between the presence of chemical and biological (CB) agents and other harmful agents in theater and health symptoms reported by military personnel. Strategies to Protect the Health of Deployed U.S. Forces which is one of the four two-year studies, examines the detection and tracking of exposures of deployed personnel to multiple harmful agents.
