Pyroshock is generated by pyrotechnic based separation devices which are often used in aerospace industry. It contains high frequency component which is known to cause possible failures of electronic equipment. In this paper, a shock absorbing insert is developed to attenuate shock on honeycomb sandwich panel. Shock propagation experiment is conducted to identify attenuation performance of this new type insert.
