ANALYZING THE USE OF ADVANCED PROPELLANTS IN ARTILLERY AND GUN SYSTEMS FROM EXPERIMENTAL DATA OBTAINED UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF A MODEL BALLISTIC INSTALLATION

On the basis of an experimental and theoretical approach, the authors have considered an algorithm for modeling the behavior of advanced propellants in barreled systems of varying caliber. The proposed algorithm makes it possible to conduct preliminary investigations into the possibility of using advanced fast-burning propellants in the existing barreled systems and in advanced systems of varying calibers and for various purposes. A possible increment in the muzzle velocity of a projectile due to the advanced propellants added to the propellant powder charge is assessed without full-scale testing
