Abstract

This paper presents a ballistic limit velocity measurement using the support vector machine that classifies two classes, the partial penetration and the complete penetration, by generating a linear separating hyperplane that equally divides the classes. For the ballistic limit velocity measurement, the previous methods(MIL-STD-662F and NIJ-STD-0101.06) have required a large number of experiments that caused high cost and time. However, the proposed method is not only flexible, requiring 0.85 ~ 4.8 times fewer experiments but also reliable, providing less than 2 % difference in results compared to the previous methods. For its validation, live fire experiments were conducted using various thickness SS400 iron plates as a target and two different types of live bullets such as 5.56 mm M193 and 7.62 mm M80.
