Within the limitations of the above precepts a Military Effects Tests Program comprised of projects det. iled in the following sections of this handbook was evolved. Fach set of allied projects has been placed in an individual program. The general objectives of the individual programs are as follows: S SHO Director - LCDR W. L. Carlson, USN ) determine air pressures as a function of distance in the air near yielddetonations, 2. To: obtain data on the occurrence of a precursor blast wave formation from high yield detonations. 3. To determine the time characteristics of air overpressure as a function of distance from surface zero for high yield weapons in order to confirm the!validity of scaling laws. 4. To determine the dynamic pressure of the shock wave and after-wind velocities for; high yield detonations. 5. To obtain information on the pressure-time history of wmderwater shock for high yielddetonations on the surface of shallow water. 6. To determine the-trangmission of acoustic pressure signals generated by high yield detonaticne in water. 7. To determine waterwave phenomena from the surface burst of high yield weapons in shallow\water. 8. To determine ground|accelerations at distances relatively close to surface zero for high yieli-detonstions, 1.3 PROGRAM 2 - -) 4. Martell, USA : 1.3.1 Objectives i rer" 1. To determine the time~intensity characteristics and total dosage of gamma radiation as a function of time” and position for surface detonations of high yield devices. i/ 2. To determine the nature and distribution] of residual radioactive contamination resulting from the surface detonation of high yield devices. 3. To determine the neutron flux and energy distribution as a function of distance for the surface detonation of high yield devices. 1.4 PROGRAM 3 - STRUCTURES CAPT N, E, Kingsley, USN 1.4.1 Objectives 1. To determine as a function of time the loading imposed by the blast wave from a high yield device upon an idealized structure. 10
