SEGMENTED EFP INDIVIDUAL PARTICLE SURROGATE DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION Armored platforms must contend with increasingly lethal threats in urban warfare. High velocity projectiles, such as explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) present some of the most difficult challenges in the area of armor protection, fa some instances, EFPs tend to break up into multiple particles, delivering a hyper-velocity tip projectile followed by several trailing penetrators, to impact the target increasing lethality and penetration with each subsequent impact. To better understand the contribution of lethality and penetration of each individual particle, The U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) designed individual particle warhead surrogates. These surrogates are routinely used to help the armor community define the defeat and failure mechanics within a given target material solution. An extensive development effort consisted of projectile soft recovery, modeling and simulation, and ballistic testing to successfully replicate a specific threat. This has allowed armor development teams to better understand threat and armor mechanics and to aid in the optimization of target solutions.
