Custom Engineered Shock Solutions
Designed for the Most Demanding Applications
We go beyond standard systems to deliver fully customized shock testing solutions tailored to your exact application requirements. In collaboration with Lansmont, we design and manufacture advanced impact testing systems that replicate real-world conditions with unmatched accuracy and reliability.
Over the years, we have successfully developed highly specialized systems for defense, aerospace, and advanced engineering applications—solving some of the most complex testing challenges
Proven Custom Solutions
91HITS – Horizontal Impact Test System
The Challenge
The U.S. Army required a system capable of simulating the horizontal energy generated by IED explosions within a controlled laboratory environment.
The Solution
The 91HITS features a dual-sled design, where a pneumatically driven impact sled collides with a test sled to generate high-energy horizontal impacts.
- Velocity change up to 34 mph (15 m/s)
- Acceleration levels exceeding 500 g
- Impact energy capable of simulating extreme blast conditions
This system enables accurate replication of real-world explosive forces for advanced defense testing.
VITS – Vertical Impact Test System
The Challenge
To replicate the complex vertical shock events experienced during under-vehicle explosions, including multiple sequential impacts.
The Solution
The Vertical Impact Test System (VITS), also known as the Crew Seating Blast Effects Simulator (CSBES), generates programmable multi-impact events:
- Initial impact at the feet region
- Main shock event applied to the test table
- Secondary “slam-down” aftershock
A 1,200 lb projectile drives the system, producing realistic blast dynamics and enabling accurate simulation of vehicle explosion responses.
HSXX20 – Ultra High-G Shock Test System
The Challenge
To simulate extreme impact conditions for applications such as bunker-penetrating munitions, requiring ultra-high velocity and acceleration.
The Solution
The HSXX20 Shock Test System incorporates a revolutionary active seismic base, significantly enhancing performance:
- Velocity change up to 180 ft/s (54.9 m/s)
- Acceleration levels up to 25,000 g
- Rapid acceleration from 0 to 122 mph in under 40 feet
This makes it one of the fastest and most powerful shock systems ever developed.
MPTS – Mortar Plate Test System
The Challenge
Simulating the extreme forces generated during mortar firing, which can exceed 350,000 pounds, while maintaining high testing cycle rates.
The Solution
The Mortar Plate Test System (MPTS) uses high-pressure air-driven impact mechanisms to replicate real firing conditions:
- Over 10 impact cycles per minute
- Accurate simulation of live-fire loading conditions
- Enables development of lighter, more reliable baseplate designs
Model 122-213 – Large-Scale Shock Test System
The Challenge
Testing both individual components and complete systems of large-scale equipment such as supercomputers.
The Solution
The 122-213 Shock Test System delivers unmatched scale and capability:
- Large test surface: 122 cm x 213 cm
- Payload capacity up to 8,000 lbs
- Suitable for full-system Damage Boundary Testing
This system enables complete validation of large and complex assemblies in a single setup.
Why Custom Solutions Matter
Standard systems cannot always replicate real-world conditions with the required precision. Custom-engineered solutions provide:
- Accurate simulation of application-specific shock environments
- Improved test reliability and repeatability
- Optimized system design for unique payloads and constraints
- Enhanced confidence in product performance and safety
