INTRODUCEION 
The electronic c•lexity Of tactical

development. Typically such electrical checkout 
fecillt{eg do not include Large dedicated

This hag brought about the need for

MISSILE FLIG}C VIBRATION 
The vibration experienced In flight by 
tactical missileg characterized as 
having broadband random waveform. Randm 
vibration Lc typically described In terms of 
acceleration spectral density The ASD 
{s the mean square acceleration per band— 
width as a function Of frequency. 
The ASD of Evo samples OE vibrntim 
measured on a version of Stendard Higsne are 
presented in Figure 1.

to 600 Rz. The shaker system noraally took a
