What is mil-std-901?

MIL-STD-901 is a military standard that specifies the shock requirements for shipboard machinery, equipment, and systems. The standard defines the shock testing procedures and criteria to ensure that equipment can withstand the shock and vibration levels experienced during normal shipboard operations. The standard is used by the US Navy and other military stakeholders to ensure the safety and reliability of shipboard equipment and systems. MIL-STD-901 is divided into three grades, with Grade A being the most severe and Grade C being the least severe. Each grade has different shock testing requirements, with Grade A being used for critical equipment and systems. The standard is periodically updated to reflect advances in technology and changes in shipboard operating conditions.
