Vibration Design Criteria for COTS-Based C~4I Systems

摘要

This paper describes results of a planned comprehensive test program to identify the realistic dynamic environment commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment will experience when utilized in Military Ground Mobile Command Control, Communication, Computer, and Intelligence (C~4I) systems housed in DoD Standard Family Tactical Shelters. COTS equipment are generally designed for office use and lack robustness for military use in a ground mobile tactical environment. A realistic dynamic design criteria must be utilized for an appropriate mounting and/or isolation system design in the integration of a shelter. Acceleration spectral density functions are described to assist the designer in providing a COTS-based, survivable, cost-effective ground mobile tactical shelter-based C~4I System.
