Abstract
Systems and methods for potted shock isolation are provided. In once embodiment a shock isolation system comprises an isolator comprising an outer ring for mounting to an external housing, and an inner ring connected to the outer ring via an isolating element; and an inertial sensing assembly comprising: at least one circuit board secured to the inner ring of the isolator, the at least one circuit board further comprising a triad of gyroscopes and a triad of accelerometers; and a low durometer highly dampened supporting material encapsulating a first surface of the at least one circuit board.

A method for providing a shock isolation for an inertial measurement unit, the method comprising:
- securing at least one circuit board to an inner ring of a shock isolator;
- and
- applying a low durometer highly dampened supporting material across a first surface of the at least one circuit board so as to encapsulate electrical components mounted to the first surface within the low durometer highly dampened supporting material.
A shock isolation system, the shock isolation system comprising:
- an isolator comprising an outer ring for mounting to an external housing, and an inner ring connected to the outer ring via an isolating element;
- an inertial sensing assembly comprising:
- at least one circuit board secured to the inner ring of the isolator, the at least one circuit board further comprising a triad of gyroscopes and a triad of accelerometers;
