No. 45 / November 8. 1985 Burst from 25mm gun re-dedicates ballistics lab An unusual ribbolH!utting and firing heralded a rMedication of the upgraded Gun Ballistics Laboratory at the China Lake Propulsion Laboratories last Tuesday morning. The ribbon was cut by a short burst from a 25mm gun at the outdoor test range for automatic aircraft caMon. This new autogun range is ahout 220 feet long and can be used for firing ammunition equipped with target practice, high explosive or ar· mor penetrating projectiles. Firing the gun to cut the ribbon was Gerry Schiefer, Lahoratory Director, who was joined by other Center top manage- ment and by persoMel of the Ordnance Systems Department in touring the build- ing andautogun range. The Gun Ballistics Laboratory, located near B Mountain in Building 52, was designed and built to provide a facility for research, development and in-service testing of aircraft guns, small rocket motors, gas generators, and other energetic devices. Building 52 originally housed propellant preparation facilities for the IlHnch extru- sion press. In the early 1960s, Herbert Ross and AI Boyack moved into the facility to test experimental small arms. Bob Gould took over the facility in 1968 for testing the liquid propellant gun and began the gradual upgrade to the currently well· instrumented, sophisticated laboratory now in use. Facilities in the building include two tUMels - one 7 feet wide by 200 feet long, and the other 4 'h feet wide by 200 feet long, that are osed for single shot tests. In- strumentation measures gas pressure and other necessary parameters for test rounds fired. High speed cameras can record each test - cameras so fast that shock waves can be seen and that fragments of projec- tiles can be trackedas they break apart.. Closed circuit television permits watcb- ing all tests in both tunnels at the outdoor test facility. Instrumentation in the control room is being joined by a Hewlett· Packard computer that will shortly speed data assessment. Temperature conditioning chambers and an experimental ammunition handloading bench enhance the capabilities of the facili· ty. Safety for personnel involved in testing of guns has been a prime concern. For in- slance, in addition to the closed circuit television cameras osed in tests, an observer's room has been built to permit direct viewing of a gun firing in the autogun range.
