To evaluate the missiles response to these shock and vibration loads, a number of catapult launch and arrested landing tests were performed using an A-7E aircraft carrying an instrumented HARPOON missile extensive captive flight vibration and surface pressure measurements were made for various flight conditions and carrying positions of the instrumented missile on A-7C, S-3A, and P-3C aircraft and vibration caused by gunfire during the A-7C tests was measured.

This report discusses the response of the HARPOON missile to shock loads during catapult launches and arrested landings of the missile-carrying aircraft, long-term vibration during captive flight, and short-term vibration induced by aircraft gunfire. ANKARA, Turkey Turkey’s first indigenous anti-ship cruise missile, the Atmaca, will replace the country’s aging inventory of American-made Harpoon missiles, military and industry sources. The Quest Harpoon model rocket kit is accurately detailed to. The A/U/RGM-84 Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile system that provides the Navy with a common missile for air and ship launches. Abstract: During its service life the HARPOON missile will be exposed to various types of shock and vibration loads which pose a reliability hazard to the missile and its equipment. Rockets, engines/motors, electronics, build and launch supplies.
