Abstract

On the basis of structure design and optimization for unitary warhead, two principle samples of integral fuel-air explosive (FAE) warhead were manufactured. Experimental test for static explosion of warhead was carried out by high-speed kinematics analysis system and blast field test system. The experimental results show that the structures of designed principle samples were reasonable. The explosion power of warhead which possessed good action reliability and big cloud area can reach 6~8 times of TNT equivalence.
