THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH ACCELERATION TESTING TECHNIQUE FOR THE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTATION OF HARP PROJECTILE SYSTEMS

Abstract

A brief description of Project HARP (High Altitude Research Project) is given, and the acceleration testing requirements for the electronic instrumentation of the projectiles are stated. The acceleration testing methods which have previously been employed are reviewed. A BRL project for the development of a satisfactory acceleration testing technique for this purpose is described, and test results are given. These test results are analyzed, and test criteria are established and evaluated.
