FATEPEN - Improvement, Validation, and Support
Problem Statement and Objectives
The JTCG/ME wanted to improve their FATEPEN code, a robust general purpose penetration methodology for use in studies involving lightly armored/unarmored mobile ground targets and air targets.
Results and Benefits
ARA supplied technical insight, code distribution, configuration management support, and insight into non-fragment penetration methodology to the JTCG/ME. Specific tasks included:
- Support the JTCG/ME Penetration Equations Panel
- Support for the Methodology Review Committee charged with
accreditation of FATEPEN for Small Fragments
- FATEPEN Configuration Management
- Distribution of Models and User Support
- FATEPEN Modifications for High Obliquity Impact
- Development of check cases for fragments for distribution with
FATEPEN
- Review of Projectile Penetration Equation and Comparisons with test data.
The JTCG/ME was able to better utilize penetration methodology relative to their FATEPEN code.
