Vibration specification - soldier carried electronic gear

Vibration specification - soldier carried electronic gear

Vibration specification - soldier carried electronic gear

(OP)
Does anyone have a reference for a vibration/shock specification used for soldier/personnel carried electronic gear such as a backpack mounted radio?

MIL-STD-810 doesn't seem to address the topic. Thanks in advance.

RE: Vibration specification - soldier carried electronic gear

Well, one could possibly envision using 810 bench-handling environment as the shock input.  Given that most soldiers seem to spend quite a bit of time in HMMWVs, you should use a HMMWV vehicle vibration environment as a minimum, but should probably use a truck transport environment as the design level.

RE: Vibration specification - soldier carried electronic gear

The 810 does not apply for personell carried equipment. The body will act as a spring/damper system completely different form any vehicle.

RE: Vibration specification - soldier carried electronic gear

MBITR tactical radios quote ANSI/TIA/EIA-603-1992 for shock and vibe standards.  Personally I've never read that standard, but that might be a good starting point for you.

MBITR datasheet is available at

MIL-STD-810 I think gives values for minimum Integrity, which covers transient drops and handling shock and vibrations.
