A target localization algorithm, which uses the measurement information from onboard GPS and onboard laser detector to acquire the target position, is proposed to obtain the accurate position of ground target in real time in the trajectory correction process of semi-active laser terminal correction projectile. A target localization model is established according to projectile position, attitude and line-of-sight angle. The effects of measurement errors of projectile position, attitude and line-of-sight angle on localization accuracy at different quadrant elevation angles are analyzed through Monte-Carlo simulation. The simulation results show that the measurement error of line-of-sight angle has the largest influence on the localization accuracy. The localization accuracy decreases with the increase in quadrant elevation angle. However, the maximum localization accuracy is less than 7 m. The proposed algorithm meets the accuracy and real-time requirements of target localization.

In order to improve the acquisition probability for laser semi-active terminal correction projectile, the scheme of optimizing launch angle is proposed, the mathematical model of the strapdown seeker laser detector and the capture field model of target is established, and the scheme is verified by Monte Carlo ballistic simulation method. The results show that the scheme of optimizing launch angle improves the target acquisition probability, and will be of important significance to firing table modifying of laser semi-active terminal correction projectile.

The brushless DC motor applied on the electric steering gear of trajectory correction projectiles often requires getting real-time rotational speed value. The hall sensors output the hall signals for measurement, after the integration by the D-type flip-flop, an ideal pulse can be produced. Afterwards STM32F103ZE microcontroller is used to calculate the rotational speed value of the motor by the Improved M/T method. The resolution and precision can be analyzed after getting the result. This rotational speed measurement system has high precision and good real-time characteristics. It is significant for the meaning of the correction of the steering gear.

Traditional blast ammunition has a steel casing which turns into dangerous fragments after detonation. These steel fragments may kill civilians outside of the target. In order to adapt the need of fighting in an urban environment without hurting innocent bystanders in the process, one new kind of low collateral damage ammunition is put forward. The configuration and operational principle of this ammunition are introduced. From theoretical analysis it can be found the blast power is mainly determined by the metal powder. The effect of the metal powder’s type and magnitude on blast power is studied from static explosion test. In the test the overpressure curve is measured by the pressure sensor. The killing radius is computed from the sector target using the 25mm deal board. The initial casting velocity of the metal powder is obtained from the high speed photography. The results show tungsten powder is suitable for the low collateral damage ammunition, its diameter is about 50um. In this circumstance this ammunition can reduce collateral damage, however the damage effect is higher in the smaller area.

In order to study the effects of liner materials on the formation of Shaped Charges with Double Layer Liners (SCDLL) into tandem Explosively Formed Projectile (EFP), the formation mechanism of DLSCL was studied. Utilizing two-dimensional finite element dynamic code AUTODYN, the numerical simulations on the mechanical phenomenon of SCDLL forming into tandem EFP were carried out. X-ray pictures were obtained after Experiments on SCDLL. Comparisons between experimental results and numerical simulation results have good agreement. It can be concluded from the results that the materials properties and configurations of both liners are crucial to the formation of tandem EFP.
