Shot counter for large-caliber weapon systems | LSC

The shot counter for large-caliber weapon systems is a standalone, rugged acquisition system for counting and evaluating shots on gun tubes and barrels. It records both the number of rounds fired and shot intensity, distinguishes between different propellant charges, and logs each shot with date and time. The resulting data makes it possible to draw conclusions about the loads acting on the gun tube or barrel and thus enables more robust assessments of material condition and service life.

Description

The LSC Shot counter for large-caliber weapon systems is a self-contained system for acquiring and analysing shot-induced loads on gun tubes and barrels. It not only counts the number of rounds fired, but also evaluates their intensity, allowing it to differentiate between different propellant charges. Each shot can be logged with date and time, enabling complete, traceable documentation of the system’s operational history.

In addition to pure shot counting, the LSC also records shot intensity, providing a robust data basis for assessing material condition, loading and remaining service life. This makes usage profiles easier to trace and supports technically sound maintenance and replacement decisions.

The LSC is a stand-alone solution and can be installed easily. Battery life is more than 1 year without recharging; in the future, however, it is intended to be extended significantly through energy harvesting—up to operation without an external power supply. The rugged design enables reliable operation even under harsh environmental and operational conditions. The system is designed for a service life of several years.
