Harpoon Pyrotechnic Shock Study

A study was conducted to compare predicted Harpoon missile pyrotechnic shock response with Harpoon missile design criteria. This report discusses the pyrotechnic shock environment and component failures encountered in this type of environment. Correct shock test simulation techniques and 'state-of-the-art' limitations are delineated. Actual testing techniques and test apparatus that can be used to achieve the proper test environment are discussed. Both actual test data and predicted shock levels are presented. Shock spectra environment predictions are made for several types of explosive activated devices. Test data were measured during Harpoon ejection tests and are presented as shock spectra.
