The Naval Weapons Center has several hard target penetration weapons development programs in progress. One of the critical problem areas in these programs is the extreme difficulty of measuring acceleration-time data from penetration tests due to the hostile nature of the environment. The information is of vital importance in order to produce survivability design criteria for components expected to function in such severe environments. The development of a small, rugged, solid state on-board recorder to capture dynamic data for hard target penetration weapon testing is described.
