  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LONG-RANGE BALLISTIC CALCULATION
    Publication number: 20170350914
    Abstract: A system for predicting exterior ballistics has first and second bullet detectors operable to detect the passage of a bullet, the first and second bullet detectors being spaced apart by a selected detector spacing distance, the first and second bullet detector each being connected to a common time signal facility that generates a time signal, the first bullet detector being operable to generate a first time of passage based on the time signal, the second bullet detector being operable to generate a second time of passage based on the time signal, the first bullet detector being operable to measure a first bullet velocity, a controller in communication with the first and second bullet detectors, and the controller operable based on the difference between the first time and the second time, and based on the first bullet velocity to calculate a ballistic characteristic for the bullet.
