Protecting the surroundings of a research launcher is a primary concern of almost almost every ballistic research facility.  Enclosed ranges contain blast, impact debris and stray projectiles as well as allow instrumentation to be used near the trajectory with minimal risk of damage. Enclosed ranges can be designed to allow evacuation to levels appropriate for conducting experiments that require a tightly controlled atmosphere.

Features/Options

• Systems for evacuation and ventilation of enclosed ranges.
• Tanks that are ASME Code stamped or built to ASME standards.
• Tanks to contain detonation of explosives.
• Large access ports to accommodate large targets and provide for  operator access.
• Enclosed range tankage designed for near-muzzle impact and/or terminal ballistic experiments.
• Enclosed range tankage systems for “soft catch” recovery of post-impact debris.
