Sonic booms measurements are obtained at key locations within the focus region and the lateral attenuation rate during ascent is determined in order to assess the validity of existing capability to predict the extent of focus boom area, the number of booms within the various zones (focus and nonfocus regions), the overpressures, and focus factors. The sonic boom focus region, consists of a region on the ground (in the form of an inverted 'horseshoe' pattern) in which higher than nominal overpressures can occur.
