Abstract

This paper presents analytical theoretical models which predict the behavior of the projectile about velocity loss and angular rate when a long rod projectile is fired normal to a homogeneous reactive armor. The theoretical predictions are conducted for a long rod projectile at a inclination up to 68° and for important velocities ranging between 500 m/s and 1000 m/s. The comparison between the predicted interaction characteristics and experimental tests is shown to be good.
