Abstract
The paper dwells on application of a vertical take-off/landing aerial observation drone that is equipped with a video camera to localise on testing range places of falling for experimental 120 mm inert mortar projectiles having head percussion fuse and filled with a black powder charge. The drone was flying at the height of 50-80 m and filming with the rate of 25 pictures per second when observing an area of predicted projectiles falls. A typical sequence of pictures taken by the drone camera and showing the terminal fragment of projectile trajectory with effects of hitting into the ground is presented. The falling sites of all (ten) fired projectiles were identified. Application of the drone for the range tests has also enhanced the level of their safety and allowed the monitoring of a fire threat.
