Cédric Decrocq

Dr. Cédric Decrocq obtained a master in aerospace engineering at ISAE in 2013. He was conducting experimental and numerical multidisciplinary studies associated to the aerodynamics of missiles flying up to hypersonic speeds, and airplanes flying up to supersonic speeds. To improve the capability of a smart projectiles, he started in 2014 a PhD work from the SPIM doctoral school of the University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté, in collaboration with the ISL. During the course of this study, he performed projectiles designs from subsonic up to supersonic speeds, based on free-flight tests, wind-tunnel measurements and numerical simulations ranging from low-to-high fidelity techniques (semi-empirical, CFD, …). Since 2018, he is a scientist of the ABX research team at the ISL and performs free-flight experiments (involving non-intrusive measurement technics or embedded electronic units) and theoretical ballistic studies for ammunition design and development (semi-empirical & CFD & 6-DoF NATO certified tool). He is in charge of the safety issues associated to the firings at ISL and to the early characterization of the flight behaviour of the studied concepts prior to each test campaign.
