Title: Bryan G. Bagwell: Inventor of a Passive Optical Proximity Fuze
Introduction
Bryan G. Bagwell is an inventor associated with Mesa, Arizona. His recorded patent concerns a passive optical system designed to determine the slant range from a ballistic vehicle to a ground impact point.
Latest Patents
Bagwell is credited with 1 patent: “Passive Optical Proximity Fuze.” The invention uses two infrared sensors aimed toward the ground at a small divergent angle. This arrangement allows the sensors to detect infrared landmarks even at low approach angles. A correlator measures the time delay between successive detections of those landmarks, enabling the system to calculate slant range without requiring knowledge of the angles involved.
Career Highlights
Bagwell is associated with Motorola Corporation. His patent reflects work on optical sensing and range determination for ballistic vehicles.
Collaborations
Frank S. Gemmell is identified as Bagwell’s coworker. The available information does not specify whether Gemmell collaborated on the patent.
Conclusion
Bryan G. Bagwell’s recorded invention applies infrared sensing and signal correlation to determine slant range, highlighting his contribution to proximity-fuze technology.
