detonation transforms the metal into a high velocity particle stream penetrating solid vehicle armour . technology blast fragmentation warhead a blast fragmentation warhead is one that upon detonation delivers damage to a target due to a shock wave and metal splinters . technology penetrator the penetrator is a blast fragmentation warhead using a delayed fuze . the warhead is emplaced using kinetic

on over 50 years of experience in designing developing manufacturing and testing warhead systems . at our site in schrobenhausen bavaria we operate a 20 ha test facility as well as an environmental simulation centre . besides testing of our own developments and products cooperation relationships have evolved in recent years with external partners in the areas of explosives engineering and ballistics as well as in environmental simulation . our explosives engineering test range contains multiple test sites indoor and outdoor firing ranges a 160 m sled track and a light gas compressed air cannon as well as state of the art measuring equipment including x ray and high velocity diagnostics . we are authorised to conduct explosive tests with up to 50 kg explosive mass 25 kg for fragmentation charges . in addition to warhead function and performance testing shaped charge blast fragmentation or penetration and testing of insensitive munitions according to stanag 4439 we conduct e.g. explosive tests in the contest of fundamental development initiation performance and characterisation as well as ballistic tests and mechanical shock tests . we use a high powered light gas compressed air cannon especially for shock tests of components . the components to be tested are enclosed in projectiles with a diameter of 60 mm or 100 mm which can be accelerated to velocities of up to 1 000 m s. the projectiles are captured in the 7 m long target zone . in addition to component tests the system can also be used for other purposes such as material characterisations through firing . precise velocity measurement systems and high speed video cameras are available . a further important line of business comprises tests on armoured civil and military vehicles and their components . we perform complete certifications according stanag 4569 resp . brv 1999 2009 to at our site . we can conduct ballistic tests up to a calibre of 25 mm . firing experiments with hand granades rpg tnt mines and petn charges can be realised even on complete vehicles on short notice and un scaled . measurements of forces accelerations and pressures are standard . to determine the survival chances of vehicle passengers we use hybrid iii and euro sid atd . if required all tests can be recorded using high speed video cameras both from the outside and inside the passenger compartment . our experienced team members take pride in their competence high flexibility and customer orientation . services the enironmental simulation centre tdw is a wholly owned subsidiary of
