PRODAS

(PROjectile Design & Analysis System)

PRODAS has become the world standard when Ballisticians talk about tools for analyzing projectiles. LINK

From the smallest match bullets, to large guided artillary shells, PRODAS can calculate:

  • Mass properties
  • Predict a full set of aerodynamic coefficents
  • Calculate launch dynamics and muzzle velocity
  • Fly 4DOF, 6DOF and Body Fixed Trajectories
  • Calculate Penetration of KE projectiles and shaped charge warheads
  • Simulate the Control System of a guided projectile
