Mechanical response of future combat systems (FCS) high-energy gun propellants at high-strain rate /

Five lots of Future Combat Systems high-energy gun propellants were tested in uniaxial compression at high-strain rate. A production lot of JA2 that is currently used in the M865 round was also tested for comparison purposes. The materials were tested for comparison purposes. The materials were test...
