Abstract:

The velocity measurement of bullet at the muzzle is easily affected by the complex environment such as smoke and dust,which can not correctly interpret the characteristics of bullet and calculate its muzzle velocity.A saturation photoelectric detection technology is proposed.The theoretical simulation shows that the minimum transmittance of 637nm laser is about 4.2% under the model of rapid diffusion of smoke in a small space,and the circuit photocurrent amplification is 10000 and 15000 times,ensuring that the circuit remains saturated at the lowest transmittance.A high-precision bullet characteristic time extraction algorithm based on the characteristic waveform of bullet is designed according to the output waveform of the circuit.The saturated photoelectric detection technology can be used to effectively measure the time relationship between the bullet and the smoke passing through the laser beam under the interference of strong muzzle smoke,and the high-precision characteristic time extraction algorithm based on the time of bullet and tail crossing the target can accurately calculate the time of bullet crossing the target.The combination of the detection technology and the extraction algorithm effectively improves the accuracy of the calculated results of bullet muzzle velocity.The results show that this method can accurately calculate the muzzle velocity value of bullet,and the velocity error of multiple calculations is less than 0.5%.
