“…The basic principle of soft recoil firing technology is to hang up the artillery at a position close to the maximum recoil range, then release the artillery before firing, and ignite when the gun approaching the maximum run up speed, and use the forward momentum to neutralize part of the recoil to achieve the purpose of reducing recoil momentum. Theoretically, recoil momentum can be reduced by half, and recoil energy can be reduced by about 75% [4,7,17].…”

“…The United States conducted research on the M204 105mm gun, but it was not equipped due to poor performance [7]. In the 1970s, some research was carried out on a large-caliber anti-tank gun, where the poor performance of accuracy was not solved [4,17]. The United States proposed a new generation of 105mm and 155mm soft recoil guns in 2015, and completed the demonstration of integration with Hummer and truck.…”

Modern warfare has an urgent need for high-mobility and powerful artillery. However, the mobility and power of artillery are a contradiction. Recoil reduction technology is an important technical way to solve the contradiction between mobility and power. At present, there are many types of recoil reduction technologies, and the technical maturity and engineering application value of various technologies are different. For the development of new high-mobility and high-power artillery, which recoil reduction technology to adopt is a challenge. This article classifies and researches recoil reduction technology from the perspective of recoil energy dissipation. Based on the research and comparison of the basic principles, technical characteristics and application prospects of recoil reduction technology, it is concluded that the soft recoil technology using the principle of external neutralizing momentum is the best technical approach for the artillery system to realize high-mobility and high-power, where the potential application prospects of this technology in direct-target weapons are analysed.

Knowing the hydraulic resistance of gun recoil brake is a major task to determine the gun recoil parameters during recoil. Generally, using one-dimensional analytical models simplify determination of the hydraulic resistance coefficient consequently the hydraulic resistance can be easily obtained. However, these models don't give information about the flow inside the recoil brake. For more explanations of the internal flow inside the recoil system, the two-dimensional flow simulation is carried out using CFD solver. Dynamic mesh technique is used with the CFD solver. A user defined function (UDF) is developed to feed the solver by the recoil velocity with time.

“…These techniques involve the adoption of soft recoil technology and smart fluids. For example, Kang and Gimm [6] used the soft recoil technology instead of conventional recoil to improve the recoil characteristics. The principle of soft recoil mechanism allows firing when the recoiling parts that move forward reach the proper velocity level, and the forward momentum behaves against the recoil motion.…”

The purpose of this paper is to study the characteristics of recoil motion of a new suggested recoil system designed for the Russian 120- mm PM-38 mortar, rather than the conventional fixed-barrel mortar system. The new recoil system enables to reduce the total force imparted by the mortar system to the carriage, with the purpose of the mortar can be mounted on tracked/wheeled vehicles. The paper presents the suggestion of the new recoiling mortar system along with the discussion of the presentation of constructional considerations and constraints. The dynamic characteristics of recoil motion have been modelled with the aid of a new mathematical model that have been established using MATLAB software. As a result of the suggestion of the new recoiling mortar system, the maximum recoil resistance force is predicted to be reduced by more than 60% compared to that in the traditional fixed-barrel mortar system. In addition, the maximum recoil distance was predicted to be around 26 cm.
