the positive and negative x, y, and z axes 
(one pulse on each side of the system) of 
71 G for up to 2 ms
Six consecutively executed shock pulses 
in the positive and negative x, y, and z axes 
(one pulse on each side of the system) of 
27 G faired square wave pulse with 
velocity change at 235 inches/second 
(597 centimeters/second)
