• Develop projectiles from initial concept to final release. Work with product line manager to determine initial requirements of projectile. Evaluate financial and manufacturing feasibility. Design projectile and tooling.
• Measure ballistic efficiency of projectiles using BR-29015 doppler radar to record velocity tracks for extended time of flight. Analyze Mach versus drag curves to calculate G1 and G7 Ballistic Coefficients (BC’s).
• Evaluate terminal performance of projectiles in 10% calibrated ballistic ordinance gel to validate product requirement.
• Release full product document package including bill of materials, supplier requirement documents, engineering drawings, setup cards, and quality assurance requirements. Monitor initial production runs and make.
• Create SPC measurement programs for new and existing projectiles on Keyence IM digital measurement system to ensure product quality and consistency.
• Design experiments to measure the effects of new designs and processes. Evaluate results to determine which variables have significant effects on product performance. Implement improvements to improve manufacturing.
