APPENDIX H. NON-SEQUENTIAL TESTS/ASSESSMENTS
ANNEX 4. OTHER SAFETY TESTS/ASSESSMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED
H.4-10 LOOSE CARGO REPETITIVE SHOCK.
This test is applicable to small land munitions for which loose cargo is a plausible mode of
transport. Test in accordance with MIL-STD-810, Method 514.
a. Munition Configuration: If applicable, this test should be conducted with half of the
munitions in the unpackaged configuration and half of the munitions in the packaged
configuration.
b. Test Level:
Conduct the loose cargo test in accordance with MIL-STD-810,
Method 514.
c. Test Duration: The loose cargo test should be conducted for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Where possible, test in two orientations (horizontal and vertical), dividing total test duration
between each.
d. Test Temperature: Stabilize all cold munitions to -46 °C and all hot munitions to the
appropriate packaged or unpackaged SRE temperature prior to testing. Test temperature is to be
maintained throughout testing.
H.4-11 ALTITUDE.
Transport aircraft cargo compartment pressure conditions are based upon the anticipated
deployment or flight profile. Compartments normally pressurized may not be in certain situations.
There are many different types of cargo transport aircraft on which materiel could be transported,
and many different types of pressurization systems. Most pressurization systems provide outside
atmospheric pressure in the cargo compartment (no pressure differential between the inside and
outside of the aircraft) up to a particular altitude, and then maintain a specific pressure above that
altitude. The pressure inside the cargo department is known as "cabin altitude". Subject the
munitions to the most likely anticipated conditions. For storage/air transport use MIL-STD-810,
Method 500, Procedure I; and unless otherwise identified, use 4,572 m (15,000 ft) for the cabin
altitude
(corresponding
pressure
in
a
standard
atmosphere:
57.2 kPa or 8.3 psia). Other conditions may be applicable for munitions that have been designed
for transport on a particular aircraft with unique cabin altitude requirements.
H.4-12 LAUNCH PLATFORM AND GROUND SUPPORT ITEMS ASSESSMENT TESTS.
H.4-12.1 Inspections and Checks.
Perform the following and other appropriate inspections and checks of the launch platform and
ground support items at the beginning and end of the series of safety tests and as necessary between
tests.
