Abstract The primary purpose of the low cost competent munitions (LCCM) program was to improve the effectivenessof indirect fire support from cannonartillery (DAmico 1996). With the advances in microelectronics, sensortechnology,andpackagingdesign,the reality of a rangecorrection devicefor artillery is conceivable.Oneof the main objectivesof the range correctiondeviceconceptwas to containall the mechanical and electrical components within a fuze-like envelope, while maintaining certain constraints that would allow the fuze to fit into a variety of artillery shells usedby North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) countries. Another objectiveof the rangecorrectiondeviceconceptwas to avoid any changes within the ogiveof any of the projectiles in the existingstockpile. This report is a culminationof many designiterations,numericalanalyses, shock tests, and actual cannonlaunchings. Most of the designiterations and numericalanalyses are not mentionedin this report simply because they were steppingstonesthat led to the final design. Structuralanalyses indicatedthat the overallprototypedesignwas durableenough to withstand the most severeartillery cannonlaunchingavailabletoday. The design shouldbe capableof withstandinga 15,000g inertial set-backload with 150,000rad/s2of angularacceleration.In addition, the designshouldbe capableof deployingwhile the projectile has velocity of 650 m/s and is spinningat 250cyclesper second.The next stepwould be to fabricateand test the designin order to truly verify the integrity of the structure andto determinethe overall effect of the deployeddrag bladeson the range of flight.

The primary purposeof the low cost competent munitions(LCCM) programwas to improvethe effectiveness of indirectfire supportfrom cannon artillery (DAmico 1996). With the advances in microelectronics, sensor technology, andpackaging design, the reality of a range correctiondeviceis conceivable. A previousreportentitledPreliminaryDesignof a Range CorrectionModulefor anArtillery Shell(Hollis 1996)demonstrated a possibleconceptcalled the D-ring rangecorrectiondevice. Oneof themainobjectives of therangecorrectiondevice conceptwasto containall themechanical andelectrical components within a fuze-likeenvelope, while maintainingcertainconstraints that would allow the fuze to fit into a variety of artillery shellsusedby North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries. Another objectiveof the rangecorrectiondeviceconceptwasto avoidany changes within the ogiveof any of the projectilesin the existingstockpile. Rangecorrectionis achieved by a mechanism that symmetricallydeploysfour D-shaped havebeenmadeof the blades, or dragblades, with the solepurpose of increasing drag. Estimates percentchange in dragasrelatedto increases in frontal area. Beforedeployment of the drag blades, the frontal areaof the fuze wouldbe the largestdiameterof the f%ze geometry,which is approximately 60.7mm. Whendeployed, the frontalareawill resemble figure (a) in Figure1. The deployed D-rings, with a spread of 80 mm, will increase the frontal areaby 1.63times. In an effort to improvethe rangecorrectionconcept, the D-ringsareextended a centimeter farther to a deployment diameter of 100mm, asseen in Figure2. Theincrease in frontal areais 2.39 times. An initial studyby BrandonandJarahasindicated that reasonable maneuver authoritiescanbe achieved for frontal areas of 7.3 in* (47.1cm*) and 10.7in* (69.0cm*), which corresponds, respectively, to the 80-mmand 100~mm deployment diameters. Thisreport describes the final design for a prototypegun-launched rangecorrectiondevice for an artillery shell. Thedesignconsidered the future of artillery launching platforms,suchas Crusader, andincorporated the possible launchandflight conditions.Thewindshield,or radome, wasdesigned to withstandartillery cannon launching andaerodynamic heatingfrom a Mach 3 flight. Themechanisms involvedin the deployment of the D-rings aredesigned to take the abusivelaunch,flight conditions, anddeployment phases of cannon-launched artillery projectiles. In addition,the designalsoallowedflexibility in deployment diameters of the blades.Depending on the desireddeployment diameter,80 mm or 100mm, onecouldassemble the devicewith
1
different blades. The 80-mm deployment diameter version would require blade stops and would deploy the blades to the 80-mm diameter, whereas the 100~mm deployment diameter version would simply require a different stop. The stops would be located only on the blades so that no further modifications of the rest of the drag device would be necessary. This report discussesthe final design and the structural analysesinvolved. Figure 3 displays the gun launch configuration of the prototype.

The criterionfor room is to keepthe extension of the deviceto a minimum. Whenthe projectileis fitted with the device,the assembly shouldbe no longerthan 1 meterlong. The device alsocannotprotrudetoo far into the ogivesothat it interfereswith existinghardwarein the projectile. However,this beinga prototype,the lattercriterion is relaxedto allow for relatively large, off-the-shelf electronics that would supportthe prototypedevice.

Show me your successes; dont showme your failures (anonymous 1997). The prototype assembly for the dragblades andthe guides is depicted in Figure4. It is the intent of this design, for the uppermost bladeguidebulkhead andthe dragblades to stackon top of the lowermostblade guidebulkhead.Thehexthin nut wouldthenthreadontothe circularbosson the lowermostguide thuslocking the assembly together. Theblades canslideoutwardalongthe grooves providedin the uppermost andlowermostguides. Theuppermost andlowermostguidesaredepicted in Figure5a andb, respectively.During the pre-deployment part of flight, the lowermostbladeswould be lockedin placeby two pins (not shown). The pinswould protrudethroughholesin the lowermost guideandinto holesin the lowermostblades.Figure6adepictsa lowermostblade,while Figure6b showsan uppermost blade. Notice that on the uppermost bladeis a smallwedge-shaped projectionthat fits into a notched regionon the lowermostblade,as seenin Figure6a. Whenthe blades areassembled, anda high spinrateis applied, centrifugal forcesarepullingthe blades outward. The uppermost blades arerestrained because the wedgeprojectionon eachbladeis trying to force the lowermostbladesapart. However,the lowermostbladesarelockedin placeby pins. Therefore,with the pinsin place,the blades arelockedinto positionfor gun launchandfree flight. Several designiterations werenecessary to develop a viablesolutionfor the dragblade design. Early concepts incorporated extrapartssuchasa camplateandguidepins asa means of restrainingandsynchronizing the ejectionof the blades.However,with the possibilityof faster muzzlevelocitiesandmore abusive boundary conditions, thesepartsrequiredfurther structural scrutiny. Quasi-static, finite elementanalyses revealed weaknesses in the designof the camplate andthe guidepins. Similaranalyses that wereperformedon the currentdesignindicated significantlyimprovedperformance duringthe launchandfree flight conditions.

Thedesignfor the uppermost andlowermostguides,asseen in Figure5, requireda few iterationsandstructuralanalyses.In orderfor the device to survivethe torqueloadingof gun launchandalsointegrate the relativelylargedragblades, a hexagonal splinewasrequired.The hexagonal splineon the lowermostguide,coupled with a hexagonal holein the uppermost guide, allowedenoughsurfaceareato effectivelytransmitthe torqueproduced by the 150,000 rad/s* angular acceleration.Thisangular acceleration, combined with the predicted momentof inertiaof the upperportion of the dragdevice,0.79lb-in* (2.3 x 10-4 kg-m*), produces a torqueof 307.5 lb-in. (34.7N-m). As a result of a quasi-static finite element analysis (FEA), the lowermost guidewas requiredto bemadeof steelwith a minimumyield strengthof 150,000 psi, andthe uppermostguideis to be madeof aluminum7075-T65 1 that hasa yield strengthof 73,000psi (503 MPa). TheFEA is discussed in detaillater in the report.
4. ANALYSIS OF THE DRAG BLADES
Several analyses wereperformedon the blades in an effort to determine the effectsof variousloadingconditions.A possible worst casedeployment scenario occurswhenthe are projectilehasa velocity of 650 m/s anda spinrate of 250 Hz. The detailsof this analysis presented in Hollis (1998). Thisreport documents an earlierdesignof the blades that are locked in placeby guidepinsthat connectthe blades to a centralcamplate. Theresultsof Hollis (1998) indicatedthat the blades,deployed to 100mm in diameter,with the 250-Hz spinrate andan
aerodynamic loadapplied,would remainstructurallyintact. However,analysis of the same bladesduringthe pre-deployment conditionsof 300Hz showedstructuralproblems. The analysis indicated that the guidepinswerebending andthe dragbladeandthe camplatewere possiblyplasticallydeforming. The final bladedesign, asseen in Figure6, were the most successful in handlingthe loadsattributable to the high spinrate. 5. ANALYSIS OF THE HEXAGONAL SPLINE The purposeof the hexagonal splineis twofold. The first is to provide supportto the upperportion of the dragdeviceduringlaunchandfree flight. Thelaunchforcesincludea 15,000-g inertial load&d a torqueloadof 307.5lb-in (34.7N-m). Secondly, the splinemustbe smallenough to allow the dragblades to bethe desired size. 6. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR THE HEXAGONAL SPLINE ANALYSIS As mentioned previously, the loadson the splineduringlaunchare 15,000gs of inertial loadingand304.5lb-in (34.7N-m) of torqueloading.Theinertialloadingis of concern,sincethe loadhasto be absorbed by a smalllip at the top of the hexagonal portion of the lowermostblade guidebulkhead (seeFigure5). Handcalculations foundthat this surface areawaslargeenough to withstandthe inertialloadof 9660lb. This amountis derivedfrom multiplying 15,000gs by the intended weight of the uppermost regionof the dragdevice. If relativelylargedisplacement of the uppermostguideoccurred,it wasassumed that the dragblades would aid in support. Therefore, this boundaryconditionwas not analyzed with the finite elementmethod,but the torqueloadwas. Figure7 showsthe geometrythat wasusedto performa three-dimensional, quasi-static, finite elementanalysis of the hexagonal spline. Thegeometries havebeensimplifiedto allow the analysis to focuson the hexagonal spline. Noticethat the splinein the lowermostbladeguideis hollow. Commonengineering practicedictates that the besttorque-transmitting geometryis a hollow tube, which alsoprovidesa conduitfor wires. Figure8 showsthe finite elementmodelof the assembled lowermostanduppermost bladeguides.The modelconsists of 11,088linear quadrilateral brick elements, 13,824 nodes,and384lineartransientcontactelements.The contact elements areusedto simulatethe contactbetween the sidesof the splineandthe hexagonal hole. The splinegeometryhasthe materialproperties of steel,whereas the upperplatethat contains the hexagonal holeis madeof aluminum7075-T65 1. Thedensityof the ring that is attached to the upperplatehasbeentailoredsothat the momentof inertiawould matchthe intended moment

7. RESULTS The resultspresented arebased on the von Misesstresscriterion. This theory specifies that plastic(deformable) yieldingwill occurwhenthe combined stresses of a bodyequalor
exceed the tensilestress of a metal. Thevon Misesstress failure criterionhasbeenvalidated by previousempiricalstudies(Sorenson 1992). Table2.

Plasticyieldingis predicted to occurwhenthe von Misesstressis equalto or greaterthan the yield stress, o),~~,~,, of thematerial. If the design hasextensive areas of plasticyielding,thenit is likely to suffer unacceptable deformations andpossiblyevenfracturein service. However,if only small,localized regionsof yieldingarepredicted, thenit is presumed that some redistribution of materialthroughplasticflow will alleviatethese high stressareas (Hollis 1997). Figure9 showsa cut-awaycontourplot of the hexagonal spline. Notice that the largestvon Mises stressis 77 ksi andis localized to the verticesof the hexagon.This stress is of no concern because the verticeswould eitherbe chamfered or filleted,andthe choiceof steelwould havea yield strengthof approximately150ksi. Figure 10 showsa contourplot of the von Mises stresses on the uppermost bladeguidebecause of the torqueloading. Notice that the maximum von Misesstressis 76 ksi, which is 3 ksi higherthanthe yield strengthof aluminum7075-T65 1. This doescausesomeconcern; however,the stresses arelocalized to the verticesof the geometry. Again,the verticeswould not existbecause the fabrication process would call for the cornersto be replaced with smallfillets, thuseliminatingthe stress riser effect of corners.

8. DESIGN OF THE DRAG BLADE RELEASEDEVICE Figure 11 displays the dragbladerelease deviceandthe components, which would retract the pins from the lowermostdragblades.The deviceis a simplelevertype mechanism, in which a micro-miniaturepistonactuator(MMPA) pushes the crankarm sliderandthe crank arm alignment pin. The crankarm slider,which candnly translate in onedirectionbecause of the alignmentpin, is linkedto two crankarms. The crankarm, as seen in Figure 12,rotatesaboutthe pivot point while maintaininga connection with the release pin. Therelease pin is limited to one .degree of freedom,which is a translation only because the pinsmust slidethroughguideholesin the release devicebulkhead.In addition,the pivot pointsaremaintained in the release device bulkhead.Thenacellehouses the entiremechanism, protectingit from electricalpotting compound.The MMPA is capable of producinga 604bf impulse. The force of the impulseis distributedby the crankarm sliderto the crankarms. The crankarm represents a 2.7:1 lever ratio, which amplifiesthe impartedforce of the crankarm slider. A devicesimilartb this was successfully usedin benchtestsin late 1996andin anactualflight test at WallopsIslandin January1997.

OF THE WINDSHIELD
With the future of artillery projectiles being launched at higher muzzle velocities, i.e., Mach 3, there comes the concern about aerodynamic heating. At Mach 3, there is a possibility of a stagnation temperature of 600 to 700 F (589 to 644K) occurring on the nose of the windshield. Thorough aerodynamic heating and heat transfer analyses are beyond the scope of this report. Therefore, the design was intentionally over-compensated to handle possible aerodynamic heating for flights with an initial muzzle velocity of Mach 3. Since this design intended to have hardware that telemetered data, the material of the windshield neededto allow for the transmission of radio frequencies. Therefore, a high strength, heat-resistant plastic was chosen. Table 3 lists plastics that were surveyed. This report focuses on the use of Nylon 66 as the polymer of choice. Nylon 66 is relatively strong, has a high melting point and has the lowest cost. Since none of the plastics surveyed had a melting temperature high enough to withstand the stagnation temperature of 3 16 to 371 F, a ceramic nose tip was designed. The ceramic of preference was Macorm, which is produced by Dow Corning. Macor@ is a machinable ceramic that can withstand temperatures as great as 1000 C and has a thermal conductivity of 1.46 w/m/C. Both the nylon windshield and the Macor@ nose tip are shown in Figures 13 and 14. The nose tip merely screws into the windshield. This design was intended to survive the angular acceleration and inertial loading conditions used in the hexagonal spline analysis mentioned earlier. A quasi-static, linear analysis was performed on the assembly of the windshield and the nose tip. Even though the windshield is nylon, the analysis was intended to determine how much linear deformation the windshield would incur. If the deformation and the stressesdiverged from the linear regime, then the
12
analysis would not be valid. On the otherhand,if the analysis remained linear,the assembly would then be fabricatedandtestedon a shocktable. Table3. MaterialProperties of Surveyed Plastics

ANALYSIS
The loads that were used in the hexagonal spline analysis were also used in this analysis. Figure 15 depicts how the loads were applied to the geometry. The inertial set-back load of 15,000 gs is applied along the centerline axis, while an angular acceleration of 150,000 radLs2 is also applied along the positive senseof this axis. In addition, the surface where the threads are to be located is restrained in the axial, radial, and theta directions. The bottom surface of the windshield is also restrained in the axial direction. Figure 16 representsthe finite element model used to evaluate the windshield assembly. The nodes at the threaded interface between the nose tip and the windshield were merged to simulate the threads. Four hundred twenty (420) transient contact elements were . used to model the interface between the bottom of the insert and the top of the windshield. The model incorporated 13,260 linear quadrilateral brick elements and 18,872 nodes.
11. RESULTS The axial, radial, and hoop stresseswere used to evaluate the windshield assembly. Figure 17 displays the axial stressesthat were present in the finite element model. One can seethat the maximum stressis approximately -2070 psi (-14.3 MPa) with a maximum axial displacement of -0.0056 inch (-0.14 mm). The axial deflection is on the order of 0.2% of the overall length, and the level of stress is well below the 12,000-psi compressive strength of Nylon type 66.

Two separate windshieldassemblies weretested. Thetest applied15,000 gs for approximately 0.01millisecond.No noticeable permanent deformation was witnessed, thus verifying the inertial loadingpart of the analysis.However;onewill arguethat nylon is a rate-dependent materialandthat this analysis doesnot coverthis topic. This much is true. The scopeof this report wasto estimate the viability of the design usinglinearnumericaltools. Since the shocktabletesting,several windshield assemblies havebeenfabricated andsuccessfully flight tested. To date,the fastestlaunchwas from a smoothbore, 120~mm guntube at Mach 3. The fastestartillery gun launchto datewas Mach 2.4 with a spinrate of approximately 250 Hz. 13. CONCLUSION This report is a culminationof manydesigniterations,numerical analyses, shocktests,and actualcannon launchings.Most of the design iterations andnumericalanalyses arenot mentioned in this report simply because they were steppingstones that led to the final design. Structural analyses indicatethat the overallprototypedesignis durableenough to withstandthe most severe artillery cannon launching available today. Thedesign shouldbe capable of withstanding 15,000gs of inertial set-back loadswith 150,000 rad/s*of angularacceleration. In addition,the designis alsocapable of deployingat a velocityof 650m/s while spinningat 250 cyclesper second.The next stepwould be to fabricatethe designin orderto truly verify the integrity of the structureandto determine the overalleffect of the deployed dragblades on therangeof flight.

Furtherdevelopment would be to incorporate the dragmechanism into an actualfuze. Figure18 displaysthe M773 multi-option fuze artillery (MOFA) anda layout of the incorporation of the range correctorconceptwithin the MOFA. This figure demonstrates that the rangecorrector-MOFAcould be a possibility. A portion of the fuze would be extended enough to insertthe drag-producing blades andto re-routewiresvia a centralconduitwhich the rangecorrectorprovides.

In earlyJanuary1997,a D-ring rangecorrectionconcept with an 80-mmdeployment diameterwas testedat WallopsIslandNationalAeronautics andSpace Administration(NASA) flight test facility. Four 155~mm M483A1,inert artillery shellswere fitted with D-ring range correctiondevices that deployed the dragplatesat specified timesin the flights. Thedevices were instrumented with a timing circuit, a deployment sensor, andtelemetryelectronics.After beingsuccessfully cannon launched, the mechanisms were deployed at either lo- or 20-second intervals,depending on the timing circuit setting(Hollis 1998). This appendix presents photographs of the hardwarethat was flown for that test.

13. ABSTRACT
(Maximum
200 words)
The primary purpose of the low cost competent munitions (LCCM) program was to improve the effectiveness of indirect fire support from cannon artillery (DAmico 1996). With the advances in microelectronics, sensor technology, and packaging design, the reality of a range correction device for artillery is conceivable. One of the main objectives of the range correction device concept was to contain all the mechanical and electrical components within a fuze-like envelope, while maintaining certain constraints that would allow the fuze to fit into a variety of artillery shells used by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries. Another objective of the range correction device concept was to avoid any changes within the ogive of any of the projectiles in the existing stockpile. This report is a culmination of many design iterations, numerical analyses, shock tests, and actual cannon launchings. Most of the design iterations and numerical analyses are not mentioned in this report simply because they were stepping stones that led to the final design. Structural analyses indicated that the overall prototype design was durable enough to withstand the most severe artillery cannon launching available today. The design should be capable of withstanding a 15,000 g inertial set-back load with 150,000 rad/s2 of angular acceleration. In addition, the design should be capable of deploying while the projectile has ve!ocity of 650 m/s and is spinning at 250 cycles per second. The next step would be to fabricate and test the design in order to truly verify the integrity of the structure and to determine the overall effect of the deployed drag blades on the range of flight.
