Mass centre is an inherent characteristic parameter of objects. Centre measurement and calibration technology for mass is extremely important, especially in national defense area. Ballistic control and guidance of missile, safety and navigation of aircraft, attitude control of satellite, and mobility of armored vehicle are tightly associated with their mass centre characteristic. The present home and abroad development situation of the measurement and calibration methods of mass centre is described, advantages and disadvantages of these different methods are compared, and the future trend of the development is expected in this article.
