John Kettler Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 BFC, Don't know whether you saw it or not, but the new episode of Future Weapons had two segments which I think would be useful to you. The first was live fire of the Guided MLRS from the HIMARS using a unitary munition. Earliest version was PD, but the tests were of 30' airburst vs. revetted artillery and a ripple two Delay vs a bunker complex. The artillery piece got hit repeatedly, and the crew dummies were sieved, from 50 miles away, 2 minute TOF. The extensive bunker, representing an underground CP with numerous rooms, was basically turned into two separately aimed craters and a collection of scrambled lumber. The second segment was about thermobaric bombs, but featured some great field tests illustrating conventional HE, FAE, and thermobarics vs. fiberglass mannequins. Most attention getting!
