Abstract
A method for implementing an operational or functioning test on electrically-actuatable ignition or detonation-triggering circuits for ammunition, wherein the circuits are arranged on board the ammunition. Moreover, also disclosed is an arrangement for the implementation of an operational test of electrically-actuatable ignition or detonation-triggering circuits for the ammunition, wherein the circuits are arranged on board the ammunition.
Claims10
In a method for implementing an operational test on electrically-actuatable ammunition triggering circuits onboard the ammunition, the improvement comprising in firing the ammunition from a stationary launch tube;
- forming an electrical connection through a tether cable between the ammunition and a stationarily arranged measuring and registering apparatus for test data, the tether cable which is taken along by the ammunition being electrically connected with charging and/or discharging circuits o triggering capacitors;
- observing and registering the functions of said circuits pursuant to the extent timely time-staggered encounted fluctuations in the potential;
- and evaluating in the mutual time cycles, the internal functional cycle in the ammunition.
In an arrangement for implementing an operational test on electrically-actuatable ammunition triggering circuits onboard of the ammunition, the improvement comprising in that the triggering circuits are connected through a tether cable with a stationary registering and measuring apparatus.
