'SCATTER AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF A PROJECTILE MODELED UNDER MAGNUS EFFECT'

Abdullah Alp Muhiddinoglu, Koray Yayla and Ozan Tekinalp

'The most common type of ammunition in military areas is unguided projectile. This is because these ammunitions are cheap and easy to use. However, these unguided ammunitions have several shortcomings. They are spin-stabilized which is prone to Magnus Effect. They are also sensitive to disturbances and launch errors. In this study, these shortcomings will be examined through Monte-Carlo simulations.'
