| Summary: | International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 1984 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada === Artillery projectile designers have found an ever increasing need to soft recover prototype
hardware and componentry in actual gun firings. Further, as projectile fuzes and guidance
systems become more sophisticated, and with the increased use of telemetry and on-board
memory systems, the soft recovery technique has become a necessity for the projectile
development community.
Described herein are parachute soft recovery techniques currently being used by the U.S.
Army Armament Research and Development Center (ARDC), Large Caliber Weapon
Systems Laboratory, Dover, NJ.
In one parachute recovery system, the complete projectile body section is recovered. In
another system, the nose-fuze/TM section is recovered. And in a third system, a jettisoned
canister, housing electro-mechanical components, is recovered. |
