A. Researchers Are look Flat several concepts in inc quest for an explosive lol Lee Digger or Fod said Jerry Lyon of the Arrik armament research and development Center in Der . The most promising concept Ditte is the Multi charge munition a spin off of an Glicr device thai was Field tested in the waning Days tone Vietnam War Lyon said. The munition is placed on the grou Novia rocket motor in the munition is launched muting a shaped charge in the nose of the motor thaw ass into the soil. The motor continues driving to Nobui Din after the first blast to Plant a second Chsn under the surface. It then explodes upward create a Crater from below. So you have these two almost simultaneous explosions that go off in a Flash and then the infantry Man us i entrenching tool to Clear away the Loos ened dirt Lyon said. The Fod tested during the the Vietnam War was similar dual charge device. A Soldier placed it on the ground and set off the first charge which would blast a Small Hole. Then the second charge was placed in the Hole and set off creating a Crater. It would blast a reasonably Good foxhole Lyon said. But there were problems with the fuses. They did t always function after the War ended the project was shelved be cause the army had other More important Priori ties said a spokesman for the army infantry Center at fort Bening equipment was so battered after the War that we had to pay attention to rebuilding and developing other systems that were More important to survivability on the Battlefield such As anti tank weapons the spokesman said. There Are instances when digging a Quick foxhole May be important to survival titty but it almost always a deliberate kind of thing you usually have lots of time to do it he said. The Fod Falls under the Nice to have category. We just Haven t had the time or resources to develop it until researchers thought they had found their Foj in the ballistic disc a munition that is use pm lazily As an anti Armor weapon. But Afler eng officials Are not so sure. Me re still looking at it but it s not i As ence thought Lyon said. Al Alkac is mounted at the Pex Gak ipod two to three a High and blasts inter ground from above Sampan Carlton of Jho Triniy Waterways in Vic Kawg miss. The disc we has ooga raped charge that explodes into the Abcejo for above Al a Speed faster than a Rifle Bullet putt a Bole about 40 inches deep and 30 inches across does not cause much of a Crater effect As the other Devi said. A shaped foxhole with sides Ikhaml relatively straight up and Down will give Yang be Protection from artillery fragments or we jaw than one with sloping sides like a Crabtr a Gobo. But the disc is heavy Mout 10 pounds and does not work Well in Mapes of soil he said. The army worm pc it to be no More than five pounds since of infantryman has to carry in around Taft be Garive Factor is that he disc requires More a Bosic to do the Job because it takes More Tilas a Hole in the ground from above thin no ii looking at How we want to Trade these relative advantages and disadvantages off again one another Lyon said we re also looking at concept that involves multiple charges placed on Ike ground and set off simultaneously. We be tested this using anywhere from three 10 seven the project is still in the research stage and Ljra said there s no Way to be sure when development might begin. If we go with the device used in Vietnam it s just a matter of resolving earlier problems soil could be done rather quickly he said. If we want to develop a different multistage de vice in could take four to five Yean.
