Arena Fragmentation Evaluation Facility
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
The Arena Fragmentation Test is used to evaluate the lethality of fragmenting munitions. Arena’s can be constructed up to 48-feet square, which translates into explosive weights up to 15 lbs. Fragmentation dispersion pattern and velocity are measured through the use of high-speed FASTEX cameras. Fragment size and weights are captured in Celotex panels, then removed and weighed by a computerized weighing system. The resulting information is then evaluated for lethal area and effectiveness.
