Individual-soldier firepower system includes several subsystems, and the relationships of competition and coupling exist in each subsystem. In order to obtain the optimal performance of the entire system, the multidisciplinary optimization is employed in this paper. The recoil force is taken as the objective function, and the performances of weapon dynamics, internal ballistics, external ballis...

In this paper, virtual test technology of automatic weapon is studied based on the dynamic simulation platform-ADAMS. A systemic suit of project for modelling and simulation is provided including the computation of the interior ballistics and random ballistics simulation for the generation of work load, the simulation control method of single fire and repeating fire using parametric design, sen...

Ballistics identification is a quite challenging task from both theoretical and practical point of view. The premise underlying firearms and toolmark identification is that each firearm owns its unique toolmarks, resulting in some unique characteristic markings left on the fired projectile and cartridge case. Although various techniques have been applied to firearm identification, the major pro...

The identification of firearms from forensic ballistics specimens is an exacting and intensive activity performed by specialists with extensive experience. The introduction of imaging technology to assist the identification process of firearms has enhanced the ability of forensic ballisticians to conduct analyses of these specimens for identification. The positive identification of ballistics s...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has proposed a “NIST Ballistics Identification System (NBIS)” to facilitate accurate ballistics identifications and fast evidence searches [1]. The NBIS will use three-dimensional (3D) topography measurements for ballistics identification and evidence searches. The 3D topographies will be subdivided into arrays of correlation cells in or...

This paper gives an overview of various forms of the differential equations of exterior, interior and terminal ballistics, as well as a presentation of the problems they induce in computer algebra. Some of these problems have been investigated at ISL (French-German Institute of Saint-Louis): through the quasi-monomial transforms (QMT) of Brenig, for the ordinary differential equations (ODE’s) o...
