Environmental noise emissions of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) main gun were measured in order to develop acoustic directivity patterns. Data were also gathered on the vehicle noise for future vehicle noise prediction. The tests were made at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, on the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle, CPT406, and the following gun and ammunitions: 25 mm, M242 Main BFV weapon; 25 mm. M791 APDS-T (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot-Traced); 25 mm, M792 HEI-T (High Explosive Incendiary-Traced); 25 mm, M793, TP-T (Target Practice-Traced). They have been included in the weapon directivity load module of BNOISE 3.2 and made available to users of the Integrated Noise Contour System (INCS).
