Abstract. A new type of penetrator, the segmented projectile, has a
great potential to be the future threat to modern armour.
This paper describes the methodology currently chosen to allow for
early design and study of the aerodynamic principles of the
projectile system. In order to allow for fast turn around
and flexibility in design and geometry, simplifying assumptions have been
made in relation to otherwise very complex aerodynamics. The automatic
trajectory prediction has been implemented into the computational fluid dynamics
code and the resulting estimate of the mutual movement of
segments is presented for a sample segmented projectile
