Challenges to national defence in contemporary geopolitical situation

The article deals with measurements of air blast pressure waves using pencil probes. The pressure waves from explosive detonations were recorded using pencil probes in different setups, arrangements, and at multiple standoff distances. Another step is to get data from measurements to be used in other applications. Several blast parameters are presented as a baseline for further analysis (peak overpressure, rise time, positive-phase duration, impulse). The approach should support later comparison and uncertainty assessment with analytical data.
