Laser Ballistic Sensor Development
Abstract
The results of a series of experiments to measure the yawing motion of a projectile in flight are reported. A laser angular measurement system is used which illuminates a reflector assembly mounted on the projectile. The assembly consists of a special holographic grating and a 6.4 mm cube corner reflector. The assembly generates interference fringes that are used to measure angular position. Tests demonstrated that the system survived launch, acquired data, and provided results which agreed with simultaneous ballistic range measurements.
