This is what is being used in smart munitions now. Survives well over
15,000 Gs.

I saw this in the
"For comparison, dropping a laptop produces a shock of about 2 to 4 g's. "

Where did they come up with that nonsense? Maybe by dropping it into a box
of styrofoam peanuts. Just dropping it a few inches on a hard surface is
many more G's than that. For only 14,000 G's, they must have crashed their
high-speed ordinance into something fairly soft.

The guidance package isn't expected to survive impact with the target; it
just has to make it through launch. Of course, that could be out of a
cannon. I agree about the laptop, though.


CSA and many others disagree with you. The figures are correct.
