Crew survival in combat vehicles that carry their propelling charges and high explosive filled projectiles inside the crew compartment in the event of of an on-board explosion was examined. In a trial with simulated vehicles and instrumented simulated personnel results indicated that the thermal and ejecta threats posed the greatest risk to crew survival.

In this report, the missile-target engagement problem is analysed. Two models commonly used for intercept engagment studies are investigated.

A small scale drop tower arrangement was used to simulate the dynamics of a practice torpedo impacting a submarine’s pressure hull.

This provides a means of predicting the response of a building to an explosive blast load where the building is composed of Australian standard size red bricks or bluestone blocks using the Vulnerability Assessment and Protection Options (VAPO) software..

Three magnetic field sources were characterised. The sources are needed experiments investigating interactions between hot gases from a detonation and the magnetic field.

The models developed here are suitable for both conventional and more advanced optimal intelligent guidance, particularly those based on the 'game theory' guidance techniques.

This report discusses improved CTH hydrocode modelling of ejecta (soil, sand etc) from detonation of buried explosive devices using two phase material model.

The Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR) is a system for recording the shock response of condensed materials. This reports on preliminary tests using the recently commissioned DSTO VISAR system, providing an assessment of the experimental set-up and accuracy of the system installation.
