A commercially available infrared (IR) camera was evaluated for potential application on the silent operating aerial reconnaissance (SOAR) gun- launched unmanned aerial vehicle (GLUAV). The objective was to provide data to support an IR imaging camera capability for SOAR. Components of a candidate IR camera were subjected to high acceleration shock experiments to predict gun- launch survivability. The experimental results show that the camera in its off- the-shelf condition cannot survive the expected loads that are representative of a zone 4 120-mm mortar launch.
