Abstract:
1. A process for determining a muzzle velocity of a projectile upon emerging from a launching barrel of an anti-tank weapon, the projectile to be fired comprising a projectile head, detonator electronics for detonating a detonator of a propelling charge, a counterbalancing mass, and swing-out wings, characterised in that a generator for emitting signals is arranged at an outermost end of the launching barrel at which the projectile emerges upon detonation, and two sensors, arranged at a spacing d from one another, for detecting the signals emitted from the generator are arranged in or on the projectile and the sensors detect a pulse in the course of flying past the generator and the muzzle velocity of the projectile is determined from a time-difference of the pulses detected by the two sensors.
