Measurements of recoil and counter-recoil movement in weapons are essential in order to optimize ballistic performances, to ensure safety during firing, to improve the accuracy and the effectiveness of the weapon during its life cycle and to guide design and development work. From this, the present work focuses on contact-based measurements of the counter-recoil movement of the D30J 122 mm howitzer using two inductive sensors, namely, displacement sensor and acceleration sensor. The measurements from the displacement sensor were used to calculate the velocity and acceleration of the counter-recoil by derivation and those of the acceleration sensors were used to calculate the velocity and displacement of the counter-recoil by integration. The comparison between the measured and calculated results obtained from the two sensors shows a very good similarity in form of variation and in values, which validates the applied experimental approach in this work and confirms the accuracy of both measurement methods.


Key words:
Howitzer, counter-recoil measurement, inductive sensors, measurement uncertainty.
