  • Patent number: 8863636
    Abstract: Disclosed are a soft recoil system and a cannon having the same. The soft recoil system includes: a cannon barrel returning device mounted to a recoil device for absorbing a recoil force occurring when ammunition is fired, and configured to backward press a breech ring, such that the cannon barrel is fixed to a preset position; a cannon barrel fixing device installed at the recoil device, and configured to fix the cannon barrel when the cannon barrel returns to the fixed position; and a forward momentum generator connected to the recoil device and the breech ring, respectively, configured to forward move the cannon barrel by applying a force to the breech ring, such that the ammunition is fired while the cannon barrel forward moves, and configured to reduce a recoil force by partially attenuating recoil momentum resulting from the firing of the ammunition, by forward momentum.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 21, 2014
    Assignee: Agency for Defense Development
    Inventors: Sang-Tae Ahn, Kuk-Jeong Kang, Chang-Ki Cho, Sang-Bae Jun
  • Patent number: 8635797
    Abstract: A rifling angle calculating method according to the present invention expands a rifling angle by combining a Fourier function and a polynomial function to take only the advantages of the two functions, and thus boundary conditions at the start and end points of the rifling angle may be faithfully satisfied, and an optimum rifling angle for minimizing the maximum rifling force may be calculated.
