Summary Long-term goal is to improve warhead lethality through predicting bomb maneuver in the water and sediment columns and to clear enemy mines with precise, accurate, and quick strike on enemy mines. The proposed work will include: (1) development of bomb-strike prediction model (STRIKE35), (2) development of STRIKE35 for body with a tangent Ogive nose, (3) verification of STRIKE35 with full-size bomb striking exercises conducted by ATR and SRT, and (4) ensemble model development. This work is the extension of the currently ONR sponsored mine impact burial prediction project (IMPACT35) for slow water entry (free fall) into fast water entry (300 to 900 feet per second).
