Computer Implementation of Algorithm for the Analysis of Radar Doppler from Projectiles

Abstract

During the course of studying projectiles and gun dynamics, data is recorded from firings on indoor and outdoor ranges. Data recorded during firings consists of the following types of data: guntube strain, guntube acceleration, chamber pressure, and doppler radar from the flight of the projectile both in- bore and in free flight. Currently there are four sets of analysis programs resident on a Hewlett Packard 1000 F Series minicomputer (HP0001) with the operating system RTE 6/VM for use when analyzing this data. These programs are used specifically for the acquisition and the analysis of strain, pressure acceleration, and doppler radar data. Keywords include: doppler radar, fast Fourier transform (FFT), spectral analysis, gun dynamics, projectile velocity.
