| Description |
During a test of the effects of Kinetic Energy Weapons (KEW) at the General Motors-Delco test facility, a seven gram Lexan (polycarbonate plastic) projectile was fired from a light gas gun at a velocity of 23,000 feet per second (≈7000 m/s) at this cast aluminum block. The wooden scale is calibrated in inches (1 in = 25.4 mm). The KEW technologies are part of the Strategic Defense Initiative research program to determine the feasibility of implementing a multi-layered defense against ballistic missiles. Location: Santa Barbara, California, United States |
