Abstract:

This TOP provides guidance and procedures for acquiring dynamic transient mechanical and thermal data shock, vibration, displacement, strain, acoustics, pressure, and temperature of launchers, associated ground equipment i.e., missile loaders, control stations, and generators, and the launch area during stationary firings of ground launched rockets and missiles. Guidance is provided for the appropriate properties, installation, and use of transducers, wiring, signal conditioning, signal filtering, and digital data acquisition systems. Procedures for measurement system validation and end-to-end calibrations mechanical and electrical are also provided.
