In addition to CMT's expertise in the field of composites processing, we have considerable experience in the area of ballistic impact of composites. CMT is proud to be the sole distributor for the ELVS: a non-contact system for the measurement of projectile motion in ballistic impact. It is a cost-effective, reliable, easy to use system that is capable of tracking small, light projectiles. System outputs include include velocity, force and energy-time histories; force and energy-displacement plots.

Detailed technical information about the ELVS system is presented in this publication.
