Background

A Ballistic Chronograph measures projectile velocity. The most common application is measuring the velocity of bullets on a shooting range.

SLIDE 4

Purpose

To help the end user understand projectile

velocity, and projectile flight.

To that end, our Chronograph will focus on

data acquisition and data reporting to the user.
