Abstract
Shipboard combat systems must be designed to withstand moderate to severe excitation induced by underwater explosion. Current specifications for combat systems shock qualifications are mandated in MIL-S-901D. Analyzing the differences and relationships between the predicted shock excitation, as derived from previous ship shock trials, and that shock excitation which is produced by the u.S. Navy mediumweight shock machine required by MIL-S-901D, a proposed modification to the existing shock test procedure which will better represent the shock phenomena experienced by combat systems exposed to underwater explosions.
