Design and Analysis of Ballistic Ground Scanning System based on Dynamics Simulation

Abstract

While active ground scanning systems like unmanned aerial vehicle are being widely used for detection of object in a wide area, there are needs for scanning systems that can instantly detect and respond to potential hazards in a defined area. This study develops a ballistic ground scanning system based on computer simulations of a dynamics model. We built a dynamics model in ADAMS software, and the validity of the dynamics model was tested through projectile experiments. Using the developed dynamics model, we determined design parameters of the scanning system and investigated the effects of the parameters on the system performance.
