Environmental impact, material characteristics, aerodynamics, protection levels, IM- and shaped charge jet performance – we can investigate it. If you have very specific requirements Bofors Test Center has very specific facilities.
Knowing the answers to these questions can give you a competitive edge and provide investment advantages. When you need environmental testing, you need information you can trust. As a private and independent Swedish company, Bofors Test Center has the experience and resources to generate and provide the critical information you need.
With our very latest investment, an industrial computed tomography scanner, you can investigate your product down to the tiniest detail or even fibre by fibre. You can also create 3D models and use this data for 3D printing. Failures have nowhere to hide.
In Bofors Test Center’s open jet wind tunnel we could simulate wind speeds from 10 m/s to Mach 3.6 and test items and scale models up to a length of approximately 40 cm. The open exhaust allows parts from the test object to separate during testing and air could be pre-heated to maximum 600°C. Be airborne. On the ground.
One of Bofors Test Center’s latest special test facilities is our indoor firing range. There we can fully control the environment from gun position to target and provide exactly the same conditions during every test. We have an amount of guns in various calibres and can also fire different kinds of fragments up to a distance of 50 m.
Insensitive Munitions is all about the safety of the soldier in the field of duty. Therefore all IM testing has to be 100% accurate with no exceptions. Not a single one.
Bofors Test Center is an independent private company with the experience and resources required to establish a complete and fully accurate IM signature on competitive terms. We can assess which tests are necessary and how they should be performed. We perform them and measure, film and record every event in detail. We assess the results and provide complete reports. If there is a safety hazard hidden inside a product, we will find it. Every time.
Our flash X-ray facility could be used for both static and dynamic firings and is widely used for evaluation of shaped charge jets. Let us assess your warheads capabilities.
