Several types of accelerometers are calibrated in Lockheed Missiles & Space Company's (LMSC) Metrology Laboratories using a manually operated comparison system. Of the approximately 2200 accelerometers calibrated each year, a large fraction is of the same make and model. An automated system specifically designed to calibrate this model of accelerometer is currently in operation. This paper will detail the design (both hardware and software) and performance of the system.
