This collection showcases outputs from the sixth Defence and Security Doctoral Symposium, hosted online by Cranfield University in association with DTL, AWE and FASS (Future Aviation Security Solutions).

It is the only UK conference to provide research students and early career researchers in defence and security with an opportunity to present their work to a sector-wide audience. Covering both technology and social sciences research, contributions include technical papers, a 3MT (three minute thesis) competition, digital images and posters. In addition, there are plenary talks from thought-leaders, as well as opportunities to interact with industry, publishers and other employers of defence and security researchers.

    Meteorological Wind Effect on the Ballistic Trajectory of a Medium Calibre System
    (Cranfield University, 2020-12-02 10:52) Knight, Daniel
    Modern systems use a single wind sensor onboard the vehicle to measure and capture meteorological wind data to calculate a weapon systems ballistic offset. The most calculations assumes constant wind between firing point and target for the offset. Meteorological wind is not constant being effect by wind gradient, terrain height and other surface changes. Using trial and test data from multiple wind sensors on a firing range, the wind can be modelled across the full flight of a rounds trajectory. Using modelling and analytical approaches to test known and experimental theories around meteorological wind offset to ballistic trajectory. The modelling provides a cost effective approach alongside practical real data from testing.
