exterior ballistics

He is best known for his contributions to the field of exterior ballistics.

Exterior ballistics evolved by purely empirical means, trial and error.

Exterior ballistics.

Behnke had immediately seen the virtues of a trajectory program that would calculate exterior ballistics based on the exact set of prevailing conditions.

For three years he was a research assistant under Gilbert Ames Bliss, an authority on the mathematical theory of exterior ballistics.

There's no such thing any longer as an infantryman who can't run at least basic exterior ballistics while he's zigging like hell and hollering for his momma.

External ballistics (sometimes called exterior ballistics): the study of the passage of the projectile through a medium, most commonly the air between firing tool and target.

The SCMITR was designed to retain the exterior ballistics and penetration of the standard flechette, but increase wounding ability by providing a wider wound path.

Exterior Ballistics with Applications includes as well two interesting topics that can be considered as applications of exterior ballistics: 1.

The ability to hit a point target at great range has a lot to do with the ability to tackle environmental and meteorological factors and a good understanding of exterior ballistics and the limitations of equipment.

Edward James McShane (May 10, 1904 - June 1, 1989) was an American mathematician noted for his advancements of the calculus of variations, integration theory, stochastic calculus, and exterior ballistics.

From 1942 to 1945, he did mathematics (mainly exterior ballistics, including ballistics for the atomic bomb) for the war effort at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, where his work unit included his future Berkeley colleagues Anthony Morse and Charles Morrey.

Known as Siacci's method, it was a major innovation in exterior ballistics and was widely used almost exclusively at the beginning of World War I. Several modifications of the method are still in use today, including those of H.P. Hitchcock and R.H. Kent, and James Ingalls.
