Abstract

In this project, an attempt was made to embed telemetry in one of the harshest environments one can find itself in. The extremeness of the shocks was identified as the most important hurdle to take in order to install an electronic device on a RIB (rigid inflatable boat). Shocks up to 12G in the vertical direction where measured, when the RIB slams on a wave. In order to withstand the severe shocks, a mechanism was designed to dampen this to an acceptable (4G) level for solid state computers. This mechanism was encased in a box to make it usable on a wide range of RIBs.
