Optical Trigger System
The Optical Trigger System incorporates a 100mm² silicon detector beneath a 75mm diameter convex lens with matching 75mm focal length. The infrared detector responds to spectral wavelengths spanning 600-1050 nanometers for muzzle flash recognition. Response time remains below 5 microseconds from flash detection to signal output. The unit generates differential analog output at ±2V through 50-ohm impedance for electrical noise immunity. The aluminum housing weighs 3.6kg and mounts on standard photography tripods using 1/4-20 threaded attachment. Power consumption measures 12mA at 12VDC operating voltage with a detection aperture of 7.6 degrees.
The electronics optimize sensitivity without requiring manual adjustment controls during field setup. The differential signal architecture rejects environmental interference encountered during outdoor ballistics testing. The convex lens focuses incoming light onto the detector surface enabling reliable operation at safe distances from weapon muzzles. The robust aluminum construction withstands shock waves generated by artillery caliber discharges without component damage or alignment drift.
Artillery proving grounds deploy the Optical Trigger System for synchronizing Doppler radar measurements with projectile exit events during variable angle firing tests. Ammunition development facilities utilize the infrared detector to coordinate high-speed camera activation with muzzle flash timing. Military test ranges employ the trigger for data acquisition system synchronization during weapon performance validation. The tripod mounting system allows rapid repositioning when testing protocols require elevation angle adjustments between firing sequences.
Tactical Supply Pakistan provides synchronization equipment for ballistics measurement systems requiring event-triggered data collection. The company supplies optical detection instruments meeting military testing standards for muzzle flash recognition and radar timing coordination.
Does the detector require recalibration when transitioning between small arms and artillery caliber testing?
The system requires no sensitivity adjustment across calibers, as the electronics automatically accommodate flash intensity variations from different propellant charges and barrel lengths.
