Two full-size, hardened, third-generation aircraft shelters of the type employed by the U.S. Air Force in Europe and by NATO countries were subjected to a series of five high explosive tests. The purpose of the tests (nicknamed DISTANT RUNNER) was to gather empirical data necessary for the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board to reduce existing explosives quantity-distance safety standards for storage of conventional munitions in and near hardened aircraft shelters. The first two tests...

In 1996, the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) began to participate in the development of Allied Medical Publication 8, Medical Planning Guide of NBC Battle Casualties, Chemical (AMedP-8 Chemical) for the US Army Office of the Surgeon General (OTSG). This task employed contemporary modeling and simulation tools to estimate the numbers and types of casualties that would result over time from an attack with a chemical weapon. In the models, attacks with GB, VX, and HD occurred in the setting...

Recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have highlighted the difficulties modern militaries have when confronting insurgencies. As a product of history, modern Western militaries focus conventional efforts on achieving decisive victory by applying maximum force to an enemy's center of gravity. Unfortunately, in a counterinsurgency operation this model rarely works. Much of the reason for this is that as government forces focus efforts on insurgent forces, they tend to forget the plight of the...

This research investigates the use of high-powered lasers to produce 50-100 keV x-ray sources for applications for programs such as Stockpile Stewardship and nuclear weapons effects testing (NWET). To produce these x-ray sources requires irradiating targets with intense laser light to efficiently generate high-energy electrons. Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of intense laser light produces electron plasma waves, which in turn generate high-energy electrons. To make a high-energy x-ray...

From Sun Tzu to Carl von Clausewitz, many theorists have attempted to explain the intricacies of war so that it could be fought and won efficiently. From its origins, airpower was believed to make war more humane through its inherent ability to attack quickly and discriminately, ultimately leading to fewer casualties. Following Clausewitz's trinity of violence, uncertainty, and logic, this thesis suggests that wars nature and the requirement for efficiency in conflict influences airpower...

VEBE is a computer model developed by FOA for the simulation of conventional weapons effects in urban areas. The model is still under construction, but there already is an operational first version running. This first version also has been used in studies for the Swedish National Rescue Services Board (SRV). VEBE has been developed and used on a workstation, but there also is a PC version running. In a later version, the model will simulate other types of weapons effects and different types of...

How well will weapons work? The answer to this question is not simple, but is necessary to develop effective weapons and survivable systems. The fundamental knowledge required to answer this question comes from energetics experts--researchers and developers of warheads, explosives, propellants and pyrotechnics. Ideally, real-world tests are used to determine weapons effects, but they are not always possible, particularly due to cost. To improve this situation, the Naval Surface Warfare Center...

The BRL-Q1D code is a computer program that uses quasi-one- dimensional, adiabatic, inviscid, numerical algorithms to solve the Euler equations. The governing equations are derived for arbitrary geometry and transformed into a uniform computational grid. An implicit Beam-Warming solver and an explicit MacCormack solver are employed. The input requirements, the code structure and the output options are discussed. Various flow calculations with the BRL-Q1D code are verified against experiments....

This thesis examined the optimization of a Compton scatterer for use in simulating hard X-ray effects in the proposed Laboratory Microfusion Facility (LMF). The LMF will produce inertial confinement fusion of deuterium-tritium pellets. The Compton scatterer is designed to reflect the X rays produced from the fusion toward a target. The scatterer should produce the maximum X-ray dose at the target while minimizing the neutron dose and gamma production. The scatterer must also control the dose...

Among the challenges facing joint force commanders today is the coordination of operational and tactical fires which traverse boundaries within a joint operations area. These boundaries are the demarcation of deep and close battlespaces within individual areas of operations that are normally controlled by different supported commanders. Adequate coordination among supported commanders is pivotal to avoid fratricide and reduce duplication of effort. Unfortunately, joint doctrine does not...

The modified 3-D HULL hydrocode is used to calculate the blast loading on a partially-open, industrial-type building struck by a 32.8 kPa (4.75 psi) overpressure shock at oblique incidence. The feasibility of predicting the net unsteady loading on the front and back walls of the building is demonstrated. The predicted loading appears to be qualitatively correct; further studies will be necessary to assess the quantitative results and extend the analysis to other types of structures. (Author)
