ABSTRACT:
In the testing of explosive munitions, particularly sub-munitions such as self-forging fragment and shaped charge devices, the munitions are spun about a longitudinal axis to simulate a spin-stabilized munition. An assembly for spinning the munition includes a stationary hub, a rotating hub and an arrangement for mounting the munition concentrically on the hub. A detonator mount positions a detonator and an explosive booster on the axle near the explosive. The stationary mounting of the detonator and booster allows a safer disarming of the munition in the event of misfire.
