Shipboard Shock
National Technical Systems (NTS)
Equipment on naval surface ships and submarines experiences many different types of shock. Aircraft launch mechanisms, steam catapults, tail-hook arresting cables and missile launchers generate various types of shocks, as do many combat situations, such as a direct hit by enemy ordnance.

Shock Testing
Shock testing of products and materials determines to what degree items can physically and functionally withstand relatively infrequent, short time, moderately high-level force impulses or temperature changes that would be encountered in handling, transportation, and service environments. Vibration testing, on the other hand, determines the extent to which items can withstand mechanical vibrations.
