ABSTRACT:
A low cost easily deployed, yet highly accurate weapon mounted trajectory analysis radar system uses optimized Doppler radar signals to detect the actual trajectory of a projectile fired from an artillery piece such as a 155 mm Howitzer. The actual trajectory data is used to determine an atmospheric model that may be used to aim the weapon for future firings. The system includes a Doppler radar system having a turret mounted antenna that tracks the projectile, a digital signal processor using a FFT to convert radar pulses to trajectory data and a data processing system that analyzes the trajectory data to develop a true atmospheric model.
