Description

The goal of this SBIR proposal is develop and demonstrate the Comparative Design Assessment Tool (CDAT), an innovative software design tool that will automate the engineering techniques used in shock qualification of shipboard equipment by extension such that an equipment design can be assessed for shock capacity early and throughout the design process. The tool will employ a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) to simplify input of equipment physical characteristics and shipboard mounting features and will perform calculations and MIL-S-901 rules-based assessments in order to determine the relative shock capacity of a newly designed item to a similar, shock tested and qualified, item in terms of both shock resistance and shipboard environment.
