We provide expertise in analysis, design, and testing in the areas of ballistics, explosion loading, structural response, and scale modeling. We have developed models for penetration mechanics, shot-line analyses, shaped-charge analyses, exterior and interior ballistics, specialized sabot design, explosion hazards and debris, and analysis and design of blast-loaded structures. Testing capabilities include ballistics (small arms, long-rod projectiles, fragments, shaped charges), and dynamic loading and response of mechanical systems and structures and mechanical systems in highly transient environments. State-of-the-art data acquisition and instrumentation permits recording of data in severe environments down to the nanosecond range. Other services include numerical analysis of transient loads and structural response, armor design and analysis, software development, subsystem and system integration, and engineering consultation.
