COURSE OVERVIEW

Can one avoid these high costs and at the same time improve the design? Successfully meeting the tests and qualifying equipment the first time through is a principal objective of Isolating COTS Equipment aboard Military Vehicles Training.

The Navy’s MIL-STD-901D barge test is especially severe. COTS equipment often cannot meet the shock conditions unless protected in properly designed enclosures. Isolation of equipment and how the isolation mounts and enclosure are selected and designed are extremely important. Selecting the wrong isolator can be worse than hard mounting. Shock and vibration tests are very expensive. Failure may require extensive modifications to equipment and then retesting in order to validate the design and equipment. Delays to the program are inevitable, costs increase rapidly and schedules can be badly affected.
