Supercavitation is a phenomenon where a rapidly moving object in a liquid, such as water, creates a bubble of gas or vapor around itself, reducing the drag and allowing it to move at much higher speeds. This effect is achieved by generating a cavity, or cavitation bubble, around the object, which essentially envelops it in a gas layer, minimizing the contact with the surrounding liquid.As part of a research project on the effects of supercavitation I achieved the following:• Modelled, in Python, the variations of muzzle velocities of projectiles fired using compressed gas powered launchers for different pressures and projectile masses, based on Classical Mechanics theories. • Trained and implemented a visual AI (Ultralytics YOLOv8) for projectile identification, tracking as well as measurement of velocity and deceleration of projectiles in water, using slow-motion videos from high speed cameras.• Designed spring launch system and elastic launching system, using Solidworks of which the elastic launcher was manufactured and implemented.• Designed a ventilating projectile using Solidworks.• Fired projectiles using a compressed gas powered system and operation of high speed cameras.

• Led a team of six men in outfield combat operations, all of whom are highly proficient in heliborne operations.• Terminal Air Guidance Platoon specialising in securing landing zones and communication with the Singapore Air Force to initiate helicopter landings.• Led a platoon of 30 men in day-to-day administrative tasks as part of the weekly platoon duty sergeant responsibility.• Collaborated with the United States Marine Corps and the Australian Defence Force as part of numerous bilateral exercises.
