Anti-aircraft missile warheads pose a severe threat to aircraft even when the missile misses the aircraft. The threat from missile warheads can be divided into two primary areas for proximity detonation, fragments and blast. This report describes the development, calibration, and testing of a blast simulator capable of varying the blast parameters (i.e., pressure, impulse, and time duration), simulating those obtained at various standoff distances from a prototype warhead detonation.
