Abstract :

 Among parameters that affect the accuracy of a gun, bore parameters are predominant. They are interdependent, significant and complex. Presently, very limited set of bore parameters are being measured, that too at logistic pauses during operations due to non–availability real time condition monitoring tools. Consequently, the accuracy levels of present day tank guns continue to remain sub–optimal. Further, monitoring of these parameters is equally vital to ensure crew safety through early failure predictions. Condition monitoring of tank guns in near real time thus is an impending need that has huge prospects in exponentially enhancing the combat potential of the Tank Formations. This paper presents a case study wherein a real time monitoring technique for Tank Gun Bore Wear, involving transitive measurement of bore wear  through rammer load current, that has been successfully validated.
