Using a System for Projectile Acoustic Location During a 35 mm AM-35 Naval Gun Tests for the Naval Armament System

Abstract

The paper is a continuation of the cycle of presentations of the results for the research task commenced in 2018, at the 12th International Armament Conference (Poland), with the aim of developing a method and system for assessing firings at surface targets, during implementation of R&D project no. O ROB 0046 03 01. The paper presents simulation test results and experimental characteristics of the pressure disturbances caused by the motion of a 35 mm TP-T projectile on the basis of which the sensor parameters and configuration on the surface target were selected. A description of the adopted design solutions for the firing assessment system were presented. Finally, selected performance results were presented for the projectile acoustic location system used to assess 35 mm combat firings of the AM-35 naval gun during Naval Armament System qualification tests.
