HIGH 'G' TELEMETRY FOR BALLISTIC RANGE INSTRUMENTATION

Abstract

The development of a radio frequency telemeter capable of being launched from hypervelocity guns at accelerations up to 250,000 g and subsequently measuring such parameters as heat transfer, damping coefficients, infrared radiation, etc., is described. The need for such a telemeter is discussed and its feasibility is demonstrated. The results of component testing, circuit design and prototype firings are presented.
