components and vehicles are likely targets. A blast exposure that would require thousands of pounds of explosives in an open arena test can be accomplished with about a hundred pounds of conventional explosives, or a fuel air mixture, using the EMRTC 20 foot diameter shock tube. Reflected pressures of up to 100 psi can be attained just outs
