Development of an All Electronic, Behind the Armor Debris Witness Panel

Abstract

This report documents an AFOSR study performed by the UF GERC for a high speed diagnostic tool for characterizing the behind-armor effects of various armor defeating munitions. Regions behind the armor are continuously monitored with laser beams and photo-detectors so that passing fragments are detected when they temporarily shadow the detector outputs. During an event, all information is stored on a high speed, CCD detector based camera that is produced so as to store the high speed temporal information of the lader beam blockage. After the event, the camera data is digitized with a frame grabbing board and is subsequently digitally
