A review of stability control algorithms for weapon platforms

Abstract

Weapon platforms are considered to be one of the important preconditions that ensure modern weapon systems achieve expected functions, while the critical factor affecting platform stability is control algorithms. Firstly, this paper introduces the importance of weapon platforms and their control algorithms, and classifies conventional weapon platforms. Secondly, after analyzing the application of conventional and modern control algorithms in different weapon platforms, this paper presents the new development trends of weapon platform control algorithms, with the goal of providing some ideas for the development of weapon systems and weapon platforms in China.

Performance Analysis of Different Firearm Suppressor Structures

“…If a weapon is fired without any type of suppression system like a muzzle break, flash suppressor, or any type of sound suppressor a lot of harm may be induced to the shooter and the surrounding environment. However, most of the development of suppressors has been done to reduce the negative effects of firearm-induced sound and embrace stealth [1,2]. The most common and probably easiest measure to reduce firearminduced impulse sound waves is to use personal hearing protection devices.…”

“…However, without knowing which design choices serve the needed purposes may end up evaluating random and vastly different design choices looking for the best performing design. Usually when designing a suppressor, one must decide on the number of expansion chambers and their dimensions, baffle type and angles, gas flow type, and gas flow rates [2,11].…”

Rekreacinės paskirties šaunamojo ginklo slopintuvo efektyvumo tyrimai

“…Jei ginklu šaudoma be jokios slopinimo sistemos, pavyzdžiui, kompensatoriaus, šviesos slopintuvo ar bet kokio tipo garso slopintuvo, gali būti padaryta daug žalos šalio klausai ir supančiai aplinkai. Dėl šios priežasties didžioji dalis slopintuvų tobulinimo buvo atlikta siekiant sumažinti neigiamą šaunamojo ginklo sukelto garso poveikį ir apsaugoti šaulio buvimo vietą (Huerta-Torres et al, 2021;Li et al, 2023;Brożek-Mucha, 2017;Meng et al, 2013;Sallai et al, 2011). Dabartinėje ginklų gamybos praktikoje yra siekiama pašalinti arba pakeisti procesą, kuris sukuria pavojingą garso slėgio lygį, ir tik tada šaulys turėtų pasikliauti AKAP kaip saugia alternatyva (Tasko et al, 2022;.…”

“…The most important task of the suppressor is to reduce or neutralise the gas pressure without affecting the trajectory and speed of the bullet. A suppressor can be used to mask the shooter's location (Huerta-Torres et al, 2021;Li et al, 2023;Brożek-Mucha, 2017;Meng et al, 2013;Sallai et al, 2011). The suppressor reduces the internal energy of the gas leaving the barrel by reducing the speed and temperature of the gas exit or by changing the gas flow path and causing the gas to rotate at the exit.…”
