MVR : Muzzle Velocity Radar
The artillery radar (MVR) is a radar system to measure very accurately the initial muzzle velocity of a projectile during tests on a shooting range or during live fire in the theater of operations to optimize materials the artillery performances. It was selected by the French army in the program SPACIDO.
