MIL-STD-810H

517.3 Pyroshock

MIL-STD-810H Part Two, Method 517.3

What It Evaluates

Match the actual mounting, structural path, SRS, and event duration. When field data are unavailable, the test response should envelope the requirement from approximately 100–20,000 Hz; apply at least three shocks, or up to nine when separate axes are required.

When It Applies

Applies when the product lifecycle, platform, storage, transport, deployment, or operating environment includes credible exposure.

Likely Procedures

Procedure selection requires engineering review of the item lifecycle and contract requirements.

Typical Ranges / Conditioning

Severity, duration, and conditions require engineering tailoring; no generic value is assigned by this tool. Conditioning details require review by qualified engineers and applicable contract requirements.

This tool provides preliminary planning information only. Final MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-160 requirements must be reviewed and tailored by qualified engineers based on the product, lifecycle, platform, environment, and contract requirements.
