| DRDC Suffield's Horizontal Explosive Pendulum performs a similar function to the
large scale facility in that it measures the total load imparted to the target by the charge.
This facility was developed and commissioned by Amtech Aeronautical and is
located at DRDC Suffield's Mine Effects Site. The pendulum can be
moved to different test locations to take advantage of special soil conditions
or to facilitate a larger number of tests in a short period of time. |
