| Abstract |
Full-scale, high-intensity radiation exposures were carried out on 2 types of protective assemblies to evaluate the efficacy of lateral dissipation of incident radiation by a metallic scrim as a means of aircrew protection in thermonuclear warfare. The assemblies were standard flight overalls to which were applied patches of the experimental fabric, one type incorporating a metallic scrim, the other without a scrim. Temperature rises and radiation measurements were recorded for each experimental situation and the results indicate that the principle of lateral heat dissipation of incident radiant energy by means of a metalllic scrim is indeed effective. |
