NOTE 1: Live munitions contain all safety critical components. They may contain mass simulants to replace
components that are unrelated to the munition safety (e.g., guidance, control). Configurations may vary according to
particular test objectives.
NOTE 2: Inert Munitions contain no energetic materials and may contain mass simulants to replace components that
are unrelated to the test objectives.
NOTE 3: For canistered munitions with ripple/rapid firing capability, at least 4 dynamic firings are required to test for
safe egress from the launch canister. This can be reduced to 2 dynamic firings for single munition launch canisters.
The dynamic firing tests may be eliminated, if safe exit does not need to be demonstrated.
NOTE 4: If the munition survives the rough handling drop test determine whether to dispose of the munition or to
disassemble for BTCA.
NOTE 5: These units are derived from disassembled component test sequence assets. If the munition cannot be
disassembled, then additional environmentally tested units may be required to provide this data.
NOTE 6: Back-up EIDs may be required for the HERO test otherwise a damaged unit resulting from the
modification/instrumentation/testing processes may delay the assessment program.
NOTE 7: The requirement for 1 live munition for the direct strike lightning test may be tailored based on Nation
specific requirements.
