Curved Trajectory Ballistics and Potential Applications
Description
The purpose of this project was to develop a system capable of launching projectiles at a curved trajectory. This system effectively imparts spin on projectiles, enabling controlled indirect fire for the intended use of military operations. Through this proof of concept, it was determined whether a scaled system would be a viable solution to the issue of controlled indirect fire in dense urban areas. Using a series of coaxial motors with independently controlled speeds, it was possible to alter the horizontal and vertical displacement of objects in flight.
