GROUND MOTION MP STRUCTURAL RESPONSE DETERMINATION OF SHOCK SPECTRA The dynamics of ground shocks and a i r shocks associated with nuclear explosions i n the atmosphere were well understood because of e a r l i e r studies with respect to Atlas, Titan, and Minuteman weapon systems. The f a m i l i a r quadra-log plottmgs of f r e e - f i e l d shock response spectra were available f o r various design overpressures.

On the other hand, i n view of the precise power requirements i t was considered that malfunction would occur i n sensitive high-speed relay or computer-type apparatus. This second a n t i c i pated problem area was resolved by the following: Study the possible v u l n e r a b i l i t y of the kinds of equipment to be used i n the ABM power system subject to the shock response spectra determined f o r the low overpressure levels under consideration.
