ABSTRACT:
An individual mine launcher is designed to pneumatically launch high explve VOLCANO and MOPMS mines to simulate flight and impact typically encountered in field use. Electronic components and controls are used to monitor and initiate the arming sequence of the mine. Two configurations are used with the same pneumatic and electronic controls. The air-launch configuration allows the mine to be launched into the air at various specified testing elevation angles. The control impact configuration shoots the mine into a chamber where the mine hits an impact surface and then falls into a test monitoring area below.
