Two-Channel Telemeter for Use in a 3-in. Spin Air Gun

Abstract

This report describes a special two-channel telemeter-projectile system designed and built for use in a 3-in. spin air gun. The system allows batteries to be tested at far lower cost than field testing. The telemeter projectile is unusually gun rugged and reusable in a simulated artillery environment. Test-battery current and voltage is continuously monitored by 22- and 40-kHz subcarrier oscillators. The fuze simulator contains logic components for controlling the battery load program, i.e., applying and removing loads at fixed time intervals, rather than using steady-state loads, for the full flight. Potential usefulness for this telemeter system extends to other applications which may require remote voltage monitoring for long periods of time.
