ABSTRACT:
The launch setback experienced by an ordnance projectile is simulated. A field of water droplets of varying density is placed in the path of the projectile. The momentum exchange between the projectile and the water droplets retards the motion of the projectile in a prescribed way to simulate the initial portion of the launch setback. A mitigator is placed downstream from the field of water droplets and in the path of the projectile. The mitigator retards the motion of the projectile in a prescribed way to simulate the remaining portion of the launch setback.
