BALANS analyzes the dynamic response and interaction of a statistically representative, flexible projectile and a flexible gun tube during in-bore travel using a time step iterative solution. BALANS assumes the projectile is initially misaligned in the gun tube due to manufacturing tolerances. During firing, this misalignment produces secondary forces causing transverse displacement and yawing motion of the projectile as it travels from breech to muzzle. The resulting yaw angle and angular rate at muzzle exit are then analyzed for their effect on dispersion. BALANS features the following:
