Research on the ability of artillery-launched laser beam-guided artillery projectiles to counter high-speed dive and large-wall thickness guided munitions

Artillery Shells over Circinus

The recently identified Circinus Galaxy is the nearest (∼ 4 Mpc) Seyfert 2 galaxy known and we now demonstrate to be one of the best laboratories for studying the effects of nuclear activity3 on the surrounding environment. Here we present new imaging Fabry-Perot observations of Circinus which confirm the existence of an ionization cone in this object but also show for the first time a complex ...

Artillery Shells in Orion

Near{infrared imaging of the Orion Molecular Cloud has revealed that an explosive event occurred in its core within the past 1000 years, ejecting at least a score of dense knots of gas at several 100 km/s.

Microspoiler Actuation for Guided Projectiles

The goal of this project was to further mature microspoiler technology to the extent that it could be incorporated into current and future smart weapons designs. Several program objectives, including mechanical design and fabrication, trade study analysis, and limited flight experiments were defined as a collaborative effort between the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the Arm...

Artillery Strike Effectiveness in the Virtual Battlefield

Artillery plays an irreplaceable role in modern warfare. But due to its huge destructive power, artillery experiment is dangerous and costly. Computer simulation technology uses mathematical models to replace the missile systems and thus avoid accidents and save funds. Based on the trajectory equation model, this paper presents a computer simulation of the projectile distribution. Then, by the ...
