ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for soft recovery of a projectile is disclosed. An lement, at least a portion of which is deformable, is placed in the path of the projectile, whereby the projectile becomes embedded in the element upon impact therewith. Gravitational or aerodynamic forces are applied to the combined projectile and deformable element to decelerate the same thereby making recovery possible.
