Back NPS Research to Support LLNL to Develop the Agent Defeat Penetrator

Fiscal Year 2017

Sponsor Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DoD)
Summary This project is in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to develop Agent Defeat Penetrator (ADP). NPS will design and fabricate composite cylinders to be used for the quarter-scale and quarter-section testing at LLNL Site 300 with necessary diagnostics. The quarter-scale and quarter-section tests at site 300 will provide crucial data for building accurate simulations of the ADP for deployment. In lieu of a fully instrumented full scale test, these quarter scale data will be used to validate deployment simulations of the ADP.
