Modernizing Naval Anti-Aircraft Projectiles: Design and Simulation

This paper explores the modernization of ammunition for naval artillery installations, focusing on adapting AK 630-gun projectiles to advanced AHEAD technology, similar to that used by the Oerlikon Millennium Gun. Through 3D modeling in the Fusion 360 and dynamic simulations in ANSYS, the study pres...

Description
Summary:This paper explores the modernization of ammunition for naval artillery installations, focusing on adapting AK 630-gun projectiles to advanced AHEAD technology, similar to that used by the Oerlikon Millennium Gun. Through 3D modeling in the Fusion 360 and dynamic simulations in ANSYS, the study presents a detailed design of the new projectile, including the integration of piercing fragment and an innovative detonation control system. The results of the simulations demonstrate the projectile's improved ability to effectively engage air targets or surface drones (USVs).
