The expansion of ballistic gun range facilities at LLL has introduced state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques to glovebox-enclosed ballistic guns systems. These enclosed ballistic ranges are designed for the study of one- dimensional shock phenomena in extremely toxic material such as plutonium. The extension of state-of-the-art phtographic and interferometric diagnostic systems to glovebox-enclosed gun systems introduces new design boundaries and performance criteria on optical and mechanical components. A technique for experimentally evaluating design proposals is illustrated, and several specific examples (such as, target alignment, collateral shrapnel damage, and soft recovery) are discussed.

The purpose of this report is to provide the equations and HP-65 Programmable Calculator programs for computing ballistic range, height, time-of-flight, and particularly the flight path angle which maximizes ballistic ranges for non-symmetric launch and target positions. A no-atmosphere, non-rotating, spherical Earth is assumed. (Author).
