Testing ammunition using velocity measurement systems and automatic targets does not always give you the full detail you need. For a more detailed analysis of the flight of a projectile MS Instruments have developed a Flight Follower System. This system can follow a supersonic projectile in flight and is so detailed that you can actually see the shockwaves being created by the projectile. This system allows you to see any flaws within the ammunition quickly without the need for timely and costly trials. It can not only film the projectile but be used to measure velocity, drag correction, trigger delay among other things that are all recorded by specialised software
