Abstract: An apparatus (10) for testing an operational status of a missile interface system includes a portable control unit (16) having an interface panel (28). The interface panel (28) has a plurality of umbilical ports adapted to receive data from a plurality of missile stations (12) via a corresponding plurality of umbilical cables (18). The interface panel (28) is further includes a coaxial port (40), adapted to receive data from a radar trap (22) via a coaxial cable (20). The apparatus further includes a fixture assembly (116) having a main body portion (120). The main body portion (120) has a channel (122) through which a first end of the umbilical cable (18) is allowed to pass. The fixture assembly (116) is adapted to be releasably mounted to a missile station (12).

Abstract: A rapid exchange vacuum fixture vibration system adapted for use with a vibration testing machine designed to move a surface to induce vibration in a fixture attached to a unit under test, includes an adapter plate attached, at a first surface, to the surface of the vibration testing machine. A vacuum panel assembly, housing a vacuum pump, is included for creating a vacuum between the upper surface of the adapter plate and the lower surface on the fixture whereby the fixture and the unit under test attached thereto is secured to the adapter plate and thereby secured to the vibration testing machine without using bolts or other hardware for clamping .
