ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for sensing the position and speed (force) of a projectile striking a target of arbitrary size and shape. The strike produces an acoustic shock wave which travels outward from the point of impact, striking several acoustic sensors at the periphery of the target. The resulting sensor's electrical waveforms are then analyzed to determine the position (from waveform timing) and speed (from waveform amplitude) of the projectile strike,
