Optimization of the Arrangement of acoustic Sensors in the Plane of the Electronic Target

Abstract

Results of optimization of quantity and layout of acoustic sensors are given in the plane of registration of electronic hyperacoustic acoustic targets for small arms by criterion of not degeneracy of mathematical models. Electronic acoustic targets are widely used for test and diagnostics of small and artillery arms on defense industry enterprises. The developed software allows to research intersections of "special straight lines" from each pair of sensors in the target plane (where degeneration of a mathematical model is possible) and to find optimum construction trying to remove "special points" out of borders of the check-in area. Target frames like rectangle, a parallelogram, "crown", a semicircle and a semi-ellipse are probed. The conclusion is drawn that optimization of layout of sensors on a semicircular frame at disproportionate distances from each other allows to provide not degeneracy of a mathematical model when using only one additional acoustic sensor. Though such construction also reduces technological effectiveness of manufacture and mounting of a target, but increases its interference free feature.
