The protective effect of various layers of standard combat clothing was quantified in biological experiments according to the decrease of percutaneous toxicity of main types of contemporary supertoxic lethal chemical warfare agents. The protective effect is expressed as protective index IP50 (corresponding to the multiple of percutaneous LD50) in ...

PENETRATION STUDIES OF ICE WITH APPLICATION TO ARCTIC AND SUBARCTIC WARFARE
Abstract : Impact tests were made on floating ice slabs with particular attention devoted to the mechanism of penetration. The range of values investigated for the basic parameters was: impact velocity, 8 ft/sec - 21 ft/ sec; projectile mass, 4.56 lb - 5.22 lb and penetrator diameter, 5/16 in. - 1-1/ 4 in.
