Varmint Al General Engineer. Retired 10 years ago after 30 years at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. At the time of my retirement, I was the Advanced Engineering Analysis group leader in Weapons Division. We analyzed complicated systems and structures using state-of-the-art hardware and software. See my Engineering Page. A typical requests for analysis went something like this: This design is cast in concrete and can't be changed, but there is a problem. We want you to fix it without changing anything. Statement: Sometimes a very simple experiment can be worth reams of legal opin...

  One aspect of Extended Range Cannon Artillery currently being tested at the proving ground is the XM1113 projectile. “This is one in a series of engineering tests we have been conducting to improve the reliability of the projectile,” said Anthony Austria, test officer. “We’re testing a large sample across a range of temperatures and firing zones.” Though capable of substantially longer ranges, the new projectile is remarkably similar to currently- fielded 155 mm rounds. The most significant difference is in the round’s much-larger rocket, which testers want to ensure functions ...
