Projectile Trajectories

Projectile Trajectory tracked with 3-D FlightPath software

This video was shot at a US missile range with Vision Research cameras and a Flight Follower mirror tracking system from MS Instruments. The Flight Follower keeps a flying object in the field of view while traveling at full speed.

3-D FlightPath Feature Tracking with dynamic angle measurement is used here to quantify the pitch of the projectile relative to vertical for the duration of its flight.

3-D FlightPath projectile flight analysis software is used extensively on test ranges around the world, both with and without flight tracking instrumentation. 3-D analysis is available when video is captured with multiple cameras.
