Single Plate Kinetic Energy Penetration

Estimate the Penetrating Power of KE Projectiles from 50 caliber SLAP to 120mm Tank Killers

Predict single plate penetration capability through hardened steel and aluminum armor of low length to diameter ratio (l/d) penetrators (less than 10) or high l/d ratio penetrators via two independent & validated algorithms, BAL-66 or Lambert. The Penetration analysis can be driven from trajectories stored in cross plot files.
