HAWK Launcher Shock Absorber (Part Number 11567877) Final Test Report.

Abstract

This report summarizes the test methods and results of a series of tests to determine compliance of modified Hawk launcher shock absorbers with Technical Data Package (TDP) requirements. The primary test was a dynamic impact of the shock absorber with a 1000-lb weight traveling at 28 in./sec. The force/time relationship during shock absorber actuation induced by this impact was recorded on an oscillograph and by a digital computer. Correlation of test results was excellent and performance of the shock absorbers was good. There were some areas of noncompliance to the performance requirements of the shock absorber TDP. (Author)
