Ballistic Testing

Veritay Technology Inc has three enclosed firing ranges situated on a former Nike Ajax anti-aircraft missile base. Our test ranges are suitable for most small-arms and cannon-caliber ammunition development and gun tube wear studies. Large caliber testing is generally limited to low-zones and ignition diagnostics. We have an extensive array of instrumentation available and many channels of high-speed digital data acquisition.
Available instrumentation includes:
- Piezoelectric pressure transducers (PCB Piezotronics and Kistler)
- In-wall thermocouples (Veritay Type-K)
- Muzzle velocity (Optical and break-screens)
- In-chamber / in-bore projectile position and velocity (Laser optical position measurement)
- High speed flash photography (EG&G Microflash)
- High speed motion pictures (16mm Hycam)
Data collection capabilities include:
- Two LeCroy CAMAC mainframes (up to 20 channels each, up to 5MHz acquisition rate)
- IO-Tech Wavebook 512 portable data acquisition system
- National Instruments DAQ-Pad 6070E portable data acquisition system
- Digitizing oscilloscopes
