APPENDIX H. NON-SEQUENTIAL TESTS/ASSESSMENTS
ANNEX 1. ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS (E3)
H.1-1 HAZARDS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION TO ORDNANCE (HERO).
Conduct the HERO test using guidance and parameters in MIL-STD-464 for all LCEP
configurations. HERO tests are performed using one complete inert munition with instrumented
inert or live Electrically Initiated Devices (EIDs) and/or ESADs. The HERO tests generally use an
electric measuring chain (instrumented EIDs) that will collect measured induced current data. The
explosively loaded EIDs are replaced with fiber optic instrumented versions of the inert EID. In
cases where instrumentation of the device is not feasible, reasonable results can be obtained with a
go/no-go technique but a considerably higher number of units and a theoretical analysis will be
required.
H.1-2 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) TESTS.
H.1-2.1 Personnel Handling.
a. Personnel handling ESD tests are performed using an inert munition which contains inert
or live EID's/ESAD's. A minimum of 22 complete sets of EID's/ESAD's are required (see
Appendix B).
b. Conduct personnel handling ESD tests using guidance in MIL-STD-464. The discharge
is applied to all connectors (protective covers removed) and electronics accessible during system
checks and/or field assembly. ESAD's shall be tested while in the functional mode.
c. Inspect and test all EID's/ESAD's for activation or dudding.
H.1-2.2 Helicopter-Borne Transportation.
a. Helicopter-borne transportation ESD tests are performed using an inert munition, which
contains inert or live EID's/ESAD's. A minimum of 10 complete sets of EID's/ESAD's are required
(see Appendix B).
b. Conduct helicopter-borne transportation ESD tests using MIL-STD-464.
c. Inspect and test all EID's/ESAD's for activation.
H.1-3 LIGHTNING HAZARD.
a. The tests are performed with the weapon in the worst case configuration based on analysis
of the LCEP scenario.
