The damage effects of reactive fragment on full-filled fuel tank,including tank rupture and avi-ation kerosene ignition,was studied through ballistic experiment,and compared with the damage of the fuel tank subjected to a
tungsten alloy fragment mass matched.The results show that the reactive fragment is able to perforate a 10 mm thick LY12 aluminium wall at 1080m/s and ignites the aviation kerosenes,but the
tungsten alloy fragment penetrating into the tank at 1643 m/s fails to ignite the fuel.The reactive fragment results in more damage on the fue ltank than the
tungsten alloy fragment and improves the igni-tion ability to the aviation kerosene at normal temperature,mainly by its explosion effects and chemicalenergy release.
