A method, system, and computer-readable media for identifying false positive data within a set of blast exposure data. After debiasing and filtering the blast exposure data, an algorithm identifies predetermined features within the data that may be indicative of false positive data. The predetermined features are used to calculate a false positive score and if the false positive score exceeds a predetermined score threshold, the data is flagged with a false positive flag and may be removed from the set of blast exposure data.

Disclosed is A load cell assembly for transferring a load to a transducer, the load cell assembly comprising a contact plate adapted to contact an object generating the load; a transducer adapted to generate an electrical signal proportionate to the load; and a ball component adapted to transfer the load from the contact plate to the transducer; wherein the contact plate, ball component, and transducer are arranged so that the contact plate and transducer are simultaneously in contact with the ball component.

A testing system for testing a missile component having a sense axis includes a centrifuge, a support arm, an orientation assembly, and a controller. The centrifuge rotates the orientation assembly about a vertical axis in a substantially horizontal plane. The orientation assembly includes a first motor, a first gimbal, and a gimballed support. The first motor has a first rotatable shaft defining a first gimbal axis. The first gimbal is coupled with the first rotatable shaft to rotate about the first gimbal axis while the centrifuge rotates the orientation assembly about the vertical axis such that missile component is simultaneously rotated about both the vertical axis and the first gimbal axis to simulate a missile launch of the missile component. The gimballed support is coupled with the first gimbal for supporting the missile component such that the sense axis of the missile component is not parallel to the substantially horizontal plane. The orientation assembly may also include a second gimbal that is rotated about a second gimbals axis by a second motor.

A Solid Instrumented Spherical Blast Impulse Recording Device (SISBIRD) includes a spherical housing formed of material that is resistant to an explosive blast wave from a test weapon. A test payload bore shaft is accessible through an opening in the spherical housing. A door is fastened over the opening in the spherical housing. A test data module is received in the test payload bore shaft. The test data module includes: (i) a three-axis acceleration sensor; (ii) a memory; and (iii) a controller. The controller is communicatively coupled to the three-axis acceleration sensor and the memory. The controller executes a data acquisition utility to record, in the memory, acceleration data in three-dimensions from the three-axis acceleration sensor during exposure of the spherical housing to the explosive blast wave.
