PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.0	Background

The Weapons Effects and Protection (WEP) Section at Defence
Research and Development Canada -  Valcartier Research Centre 
is in charge of evaluating advanced armour materials and systems
for vehicle ballistic protection.  In order to allow for further
optimising the performance of armour systems, it is necessary to
understand the impact and penetration dynamics of small arms
projectiles impacting ceramic and metallic targets. Such
detailed terminal ballistics assessment can be done using ultra
high speed cameras capable of frame rate up to 5 million images
per second (i.e. ultra high speed) with sufficient resolution to
allow for the quantitative characterization of the
projectile-target interaction mechanisms.

2.0	Objective

To acquire an ultra-high speed video camera for terminal
ballistics applications for the WEP section at Defence Research
and Development Canada - Valcartier Research Centre more
specifically for the Novel Operational Combat Armour (NOCA)
project.
