3.2 Missile. A guided projectile to which self-contained propulsive energy is applied during
flight.
3.3 Torpedo. A self-propelled munition that follows an underwater path and is designed to
detonate either on contact with or within close proximity to its target.
Note: It may be launched from above or below the water surface.
3.4 Complete Round. A complete fully assembled munition consisting of all components as
required for intended use.
Note: This may include, for example, live energetics, tactical electronics, safe-and-arm devices, etc.
The munition may come factory assembled or may require assembly by service personnel prior to
use. In some countries, this is also known as an All Up Round.
3.5 Temperature Conditioning. Exposure of a munition to a thermal environment in preparation
for a test event at a specified test temperature.
3.6 Pre-Stress. Exposure of a munition to a sequence of one or more environmental stresses (i.e.,
temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, etc.) prior to conducting a particular test event.
3.7 Solar Radiation Equivalent (SRE) Temperature. The maximum temperature value
experienced by the energetic material (e.g., motor propellant, warhead, fuze) during the solar test.
Note: Determination of this value will require exposure of an inert, internally instrumented
munition, with similar thermal characteristics to the complete round, to the full solar test
requirement defined in MIL-STD-810, Method 505. The SRE temperature should be determined
for the packaged and unpackaged state. In the absence of this data, a value of +71 °Celsius (C)
should be used for the SRE temperature.
3.8 Temperature Stabilization. Temperature stabilization is achieved when the part of the item
considered to have the longest thermal lag is changing no more than 2 °C per hour.
Note: Since it may not be practical to monitor the part of a live munition with the longest thermal
lag during test without damaging seals, the stabilization time may be determined prior to live
munition testing using an inert, internally instrumented munition, with similar thermal
characteristics to the complete round. The stabilization time will typically be required for the
munition in both the unpackaged and the transport configurations and at the hot and cold
temperature extremes. For packaged configurations, stabilization times are dependent upon the
dimensions of the container, container dunnage, and the air gap between the munition and
container.
