Ok so while outside a distant memory came up.
Have any of you engineers of this group been involved with a test of “ one” in in other words the project must hit the target dead on its only test
No pro longed testing hit and misses ? And must survive to expected limits . I attended a week long seminar sponsored by the USA military , a product our company was developing was to go into some kind of ordinance we were never did get to see it just specs we ere supposed to get to go up in th B 52 that was going to drop it but we got cancelled out at the last minute so we didn’t get to have fun.
The fun thing in the end was my part was to design a support structure to support all the interior srts hen it hit the ground That was the reason for the test of “ one”. We already had telemetry devices for this . The electronics guy gave me his models soni incorporated his stuff no my stuff for calculation . I told him his stuff was not going to survive even landing in the desert sand “ my stuff not fail, you see in his broken accent . Long story short the object completely missed the target and landed in the rocky surrounding area the military couldn’t find it at firs until they located our frequency Every thing inside the object was smashed flat on top of the support structure We were examining the mess and I Ickes up a piece with a short wire hanging or. I knew very well it was part of hiS electronic stuff . I said what’s this ? Looks like a dead mouse . He said “ he said not need to know, top secret “ I did a great roll eyes . LOL so much for test of” one” Anyway Has anyone else done this stuff .
