Subminiature Telemetry Tests Using Direct Fire Projectiles

Abstract

An eight round program was fired at the Transonic Range Facility, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, during November 1989 to determine the survivability of subminiature transmitter packages in the tracer wells of 120mm, M865, TPCSDS- T and 105mm, M724, TPDS-T projectiles and the ability to measure spin rates. The telemetry packages survived the launch environment of the M865 and transmitted spin data. The M724 appeared to generate too high of a spin environment for the battery system. The successful demonstration of this telemetry system leads to the inclusion of a subcarrier oscillator and a transducer to measure parameters other than spin.
