Today’s Topics:
1. Today we are launching Section 8 of the Silencer Sound Standard: SSS.8 – Advanced Silencer Research. Outside of public view, PEW Science performs a significant amount of testing and engineering analysis on a variety of systems; most of which is never published. Not everything has to remain behind closed doors. Section 8 of the Standard presents further research advancements that are cleared for public release. (00:04:02)
2. The first section in Section 8 is live today with this episode! The first report in this section is SSS.8.1.1 - Introducing PEW-SOFT HD Hazard Maps. The Suppression Rating has made you powerful. Now, you will become even more powerful, as you navigate personnel hazards from silencers in both the free field and near reflecting surfaces; everywhere. We’ll walk you through the report in today’s talk. Here is an outline:
a. Introduction (00:08:22)
b. 8.1.1.1 - Dimensional Variations (00:20:12)
c. 8.1.1.2 - Free Field Data, and You (00:22:55)
d. 8.1.1.3 - PEW-SOFT HD Hazard Mapper (00:31:19)
e. 8.1.1.4 - MK18 Case Study: 556-RC2 vs. 556-RC3 vs FLOW 556k (00:41:04)
f. 8.1.1.5 - Reflections - Moving outside of the Free Field (01:02:20)
g. 8.1.1.6 - Conclusions and Acknowledgements (01:07:24)
