Description

This volume presents for the first time a systematic and comprehensive treatment of technology that is critical to the development of effective gun systems. Material is included that is closely associated with the launching of projectiles from guns but is not commonly included in treatments of gun interior ballistics. The book is organized into broad subject areas, such as ignition systems; barrel erosion and wear; muzzle phenomena; propellant thermodynamics; and novel, unconventional gun propulsion concepts. It should prove valuable both to those entering the field and to the experienced practitioners in R&D of gun-type launchers.
