The Leonardo DRS Naval Power Systems division manufactures a host of equipment for the US Navy. MIL-S-901 shock testing must be done on some equipment to meet stringent U.S. Navy requirements. This extreme testing is designed to prove that mission-critical US Navy equipment can survive the intense shockwave from a nearby underwater explosion and remain fully operational.
In this video, a vital firefighting pump system is mounted to a barge and subjected to a series of powerful underwater blasts. As our engineers explain, this test is the ultimate measure of durability, simulating the harshest conditions a naval vessel might face in combat. For equipment like this, which provides water to extinguish fires in critical ship spaces, failure is not an option. Watch as our robustly designed and manufactured equipment endures the test, demonstrating our commitment to the survivability and readiness of the fleet.
