Fragment and Debris Hazards

Abstract
Selected concepts involved in characterizing the hazards of fragment- producing ammunition are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the effects from stores of ammunition which may detonate massively, such that the fragment field is potentially relatable to that from a single weapon detonated in isolation. Injury criteria in current use are compared, and a simple procedure for estimating injury probability as a function of distance from the explosion point is suggested.
