8.3 Skid Test Results. A formulation of 50 wt% HMX, 40 wt% TATB, and 10<br />

wt% Kel-F gave no events in four 64-ft drops at a 45” impact angle on a garnet-<br />

paper target.<br />

8.4 Susan Test Results. At an impact velocity of 1500 ft/s, the relative energy<br />

release was equivalent to the kinetic energy of the test vehicle. A similar result was<br />

obtained with an inert fill.<br />
