This course will describe several research, developmental and experimental 
techniques for obtaining High Velocity and High Pressure Interior Ballistics 
operations.  Included will be propellant, Light Gas, Electromagnetid (EM), and 
other types and hybrid launch systems.

Also discussed will be range set-ups and instrumentation as well as gun, 
chamber, projectile and sabot designs.

Range construction and precautions will also be covered to some extent.
