Abstract
A facility was constructed for the study of water-entry, water-exit, and underwater trajectory behavior of small momentum-propelled missiles for varied trajectory launching angles, missile accelerations and velocities, wave fields and conditions of cavitation. A unique feature is the electromagnetic missile propulsion system. The facility is made principally of non-magnetic and electrically non-conducting materials to permit the determination of missile accelerating force from the reactive force on the launching coil.
