M240 Launch, Separation, and Shock Considerations
Dynamic events can impart damaging forces to structures andequipment. Shock industrial accelerometers are used to evaluate impacts,
shock phenomena, and isolation techniques to ensure structural
survivability of the vehicle and any contents. Additionally,
acceleration signals may be utilized to trigger an event or warn of
process upset, particularly during launch or firing.
