Abstract

In order to analyze the lethality of a forward enhanced lethal HE (high explosive) projectile against personnel targets, the static explosion experiments are made on the forward enhanced lethal HE projectile and the conventional HE projectile, which have same structural characteristic parameters. A calculating model of the lethality against personnel targets is established. The lethal powers of two kinds of projectile against personnel targets in same terminal conditions are comparatively calculated. The result shows that the forward enhanced lethal HE projectile can produce a fragment damage area compared with the conventional HE projectile so that it makes the killing area for personnel targets being increased by 147.3%. Its lethality against personnel targets is enhanced effectively.
