1. An explosive device test fixture comprising:
a horizontal accelerator having a track; a main sled able to be travel on the track, the main sled having a main sled has main sled rails, a main sled first contact plate, a main sled second contact plate, and elastomeric material, the main sled rails disposed on the main sled base plate and substantially parallel to the track, the main sled first contact plate and the main sled second contact plate vertically disposed on opposite ends of the main sled base plate and substantially perpendicular to the main sled rails, the elastomeric material attached to the main sled first contact plate and the main sled second contact plate; a mini-sled smaller than the main sled such that the mini-sled can travel along the main sled rails, the mini-sled including a mini-sled base plate, a mini-sled first contact plate, a mini-sled second contact plate, the mini-sled first contact plate and the mini-sled second contact plate vertically disposed on opposite ends of the mini-sled base plate and substantially perpendicular to the main sled rails, when actuated the horizontal accelerator fires a pulse that is shaped by the elastomeric material attached to the main sled first contact plate, the pulse causes the main sled to travel along the track, while the mini-sled remains stationary causing the main sled first contact plate to hit the mini-sled first contact plate and simulate acceleration forces on the mini-sled similar to acceleration forces in an actual explosion.
