E-Labs has an extensive background in the development
and testing of Less Than Lethal (LTL) devices. We were
the first to develop a measuring system to capture blunt
force or impulse of a round in real time. The Ballistic
Impulse Measuring System (BIMS) developed by E-Labs was
used on USMC programs to evaluate LTL rounds and compare
impulses on a one to one basis.
We have a full service quality assurance testing
facility and can set up ammunition evaluation and
testing protocols for most measurements required on a
test range. We are also able to gather relevant data
using state-of-the-art technology. Some of our tests
include: |
| |
-
Velocity measurement.
-
Trajectory verification, distance verification.
-
Distance Verification.
-
OC spray performance characterization.
-
Fragmentation mapping -
For fragmentation mapping, a paper and
foamboard fragmentation arena is set up
with fixturing and witness panels.
Witness mapping is done by measuring the
surrounding boundary of lightweight
witness material that registers the
impact of fragments generated by a less
than lethal noise flash diversionary
device. The number of fragment impacts
greater than a specific measurement are
counted, and segregated by perforation
through the foamboard or paper.
-
High speed camera to 8,000 frames per second.
-
Light output phototropic.
-
Light plume size.
-
Sound output
-
Industrial and military standards exist
for evaluating the measured impulse
noise of a weapon or less than lethal
noise flash diversionary device.
Parameters have been established to
evaluate the need of hearing protection
from impulse, transient sound waves.
These shock pressure waves are measured
using piezo-electric pressure
transducers and the reading is converted
into decibel sound measurements.
-
Fire susceptibility.
-
12
gauge and 40 mm projectile characterization.
-
Flash bang and diversionary
characterization.

We use a custom high-speed data
acquisition system to control several of
our tests. The system consists of 16
channels of analog to digital recording
capable of sampling rates of 100,000
points per second. The data acquisition
system uses a UNIX based operating
system with custom test and analysis
software. It is capable of remotely
controlling all tests, from initiation
to camera sequencing, and recording of
light and pressure detector signals. |
