2 Contents 01 Background 02 Validation 03 Simulations 04 Conclusions & future work 2
3 01 Background 3
4 01 Charge design why UPCS? Existing inventory replaced with 1 module 4
5 01 Charge design advantages of UPCS Current charges Not fully IM compliant Not cleared for A1/C2 climatic conditions Wasteful decremental system Costly & L10 can t routinely be used for training Often remain in WMR until they life out With UPCS Same charges are used in training as are deployed for war fighting Training simplified/more realistic Substantial cost savings can be achieved through incremental system Logistic burden reduced Autoloader compatible 5
6 01 Modular charges the problem being addressed Safety & performance are important requirements linked to ignition Pressure waves eliminated or minimised and consistent Simultaneous ignition along length of charge Combustible cartridge cases present barrier to flamespread along the propellant bed Modules act as projectiles! Pressure difference (MPa) Time (ms) 6
7 01 Modelling approach - QIMIBS 2D mortar code Developed initially with MOD funding Developed further using QinetiQ funding Details presented at 22 nd International Symposium on Ballistics Ability to represent internal solid boundaries 7
8 02 Validation 8
9 02 Primer only single module initial geometry 9

29 04 Conclusions & future work 29
30 04 Conclusions & further work QIMIBS has much of the functionality required to model MCS Validated for two primers for 1 & 5 modules Parameter studies showed 5g black powder per module not likely to ignite Best position of igniter is both sides of flash tube 26mm diameter flash tube better than 52mm and 20mm Reducing flash tube vent area predicted to produce better ignition Predictions for 5 modules show Primer and igniter insufficient to ignite (5 th ) module adjacent to the projectile Module 2 might ignite before module 1 Possibility of significant ignition delay for 4 th module 155mm gun firings planned & further modelling Conclusions likely to be very dependent on primers and geometries used in this study 30
