Abstract Mathematical models used in design of the XM204 soft recoil Howitzer (advanced and engineering development prototypes) are described. The physical basis for the mathematical representation is presented along with the derivation of the required equations. While these models have been generalized to allow their use in other weapon design situations, some modification will be necessary to include features not specifically considered. Systems of equations which will provide for the definition of required control functions as well as the prediction of recoil mechanism functioning and weapon motions are summarized.
