Description
Jing Li and co-authors present a measurement method for rapid-fire guns in this 2025 study. When many barrels fire at once, several shells cross the same test plane, and old methods cannot tell them apart. Their sensor uses seven planes of light beams, built from two triple-plane units plus one angled single plane.
As each shell breaks the beams, the timing data feed a math model of its flight. The model yields impact point, speed, and flight angles for every shell. A check based on straight-line paths then sorts out which timings belong to which shell. In tests, impact points were found with error under five millimeters, half the error of older methods. The authors say the setup suits range testing of multi-barrel guns.
