optimum height of burst การใช้

• The " Tumbler " phase, sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission consisted of three airdrops which were intended to help explain discrepancies in the actual and estimated blast shock wave damage noted on previous detonations, and to establish more accurately the optimum height of burst.
• In a typical air burst, where the blast range is maximized to produce the greatest range of severe damage, i . e . the greatest range that ~ of pressure is extended over, is a GR / ground range of 0.4 km for 1 kiloton ( kt ) of TNT yield; 1.9 km for 100 kt; and 8.6 km for 10 megatons ( Mt ) of TNT . The optimum height of burst to maximize this desired severe ground range destruction for a 1 kt bomb is 0.22 km; for 100 kt, 1 km; and for 10 Mt, 4.7 km.
