    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus, system and associated method of operation that allows medium weight Class II equipment to be shock tested using a Medium Weight Shock Machine (MWSM) in a manner that adequately simulates the required shock response exhibited when subjected to underwater explosion (UNDEX), Heavyweight testing utilizing a FSP. Advantageously, such an apparatus, system and associated method allows for testing of Class II medium weight (e.g., about 500-4500 lbs.) equipment (e.g., submarine and surface vessel equipment) utilizing an MWSM instead of Heavyweight testing utilizing a Floating Shock Platform (FSP). Testing of Class II medium weight equipment in this manner significantly reduces cost of testing such equipment and increases safety associated with testing such equipment.
