BOSIK’s impact analyses range from 30-100 G nominal impact testing of railway data recorders to miscellaneous High G impact testing up to 30,000 G’s. These tests are performed in the National Research Council of Canada's (NRCC) Flight Impact Simulator Facility in Ottawa, Ontario.

A 75-foot long pneumatic cannon with a 10" bore is the centerpiece of BOSIK’s testing process, propelling items toward their impact points.

With an increase in the large bird population, there is an increased danger of birds impacting upon aircraft.

Through the use of the pneumatic cannon and other equipment, including high-speed cameras and motion analyzers, BOSIK’s bird impact testing effectively simulates a mid-air collision with reliable test data.
