Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of selected components and mechanisms of the GSh-23 aviation autocannon (specifically, the bolt and the connecting lever of the feeding mechanism). During the research implementation, measurements of linear and angular displacements of the chosen mechanisms of the GSh-23 aviation autocannon were carried out on a purpose-built research platform. This platform enables the movement of the weapon mechanisms without the use of ammunition, utilising compressed air instead. Parts and mechanisms were carefully selected for the study, allowing their motion to be recorded by a high-speed camera without the need for disassembling crucial weapon components. The results of measuring kinematic quantities using the high-speed camera and TEMA software were employed to validate a numerical model of the weapon mechanisms in MSC ADAMS software. The displacement and velocity characteristics obtained from the simulation were reasonably consistent with the experimentally obtained characteristics.
