Determination of the Trajectory Elements for the Reusable Training-Practice Mortar Round Intended for Short Distance Firing

The paper presents an analytical method for calculating the initial velocity and flight distance of a reusable training-practice mortar round for short distance firing intended as a simulator for mortar teams. This is the first stage in the overall development of the simulator and the results obtained will be used to determine the elements of the mortar’s internal ballistics. The paper also presents a simulation model developed with MATLAB software program, with which calculations were made for 60 mm, 82 mm and 120 mm training-practice mortars.
