Simulation and experimental study of capacitive sensors for penetration fuze

Abstract

More and more important military facilities and command centers have been moved underground or protected with bunkers, so penetration munitions for such targets have become one of the important research directions for military equipment research institutes in various countries. The penetration fuze is a key part to achieve efficient destruction of penetration munitions, but the current high g accelerometers which are widely used in the penetration fuze have problems, such as the output signal mixing with the structural response of the projectile and noise signals, signal sticking and so on. In order to solve these problems, we designed a kind of capacitance sensor for penetration fuze. This paper further designed a signal processing circuit for the sensor, and the simulation and hammering tests were conducted to verify that the capacitive sensor for the penetration fuze can effectively suppress the structural response of the projectile and noise interference, and the signal sticking phenomenon can be reduced under the working condition of the penetration multi-layer target plate.
