The technology of the strong light blindness ammunition

The radiation mechanism, formulation composition, properties test and the disturbance on night vision equipment with strong flash blindness ammunition are studied. The results show that the trinary formulation containing KClO₄, Al and epoxy resin (mass ratio is 50: 50: 3) has higher radiation and lower sensitivities. The ammunition security is greatly improved when 1% micro-powder graphite is added into the trinary formulation. When 80 g charge amount of trinary formulation(the mass ratio of KClO₄, Al and epoxy resin is 50: 50: 3) is loaded into the simulation bomb, the luminesced intensity at visible region is more than 5.0 × 10⁷ cd and the radiation intensity at near-infrared band exceeds 2.1 × 10⁵ W · sr^-1. Moreover, 40 g charge amount of the trinary formulation has obvious disturbance on night vision equipment at 37 m.
