APPENDIX H. NON-SEQUENTIAL TESTS/ASSESSMENTS
ANNEX 4. OTHER SAFETY TESTS/ASSESSMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED
a.
Visually inspect all test items to determine:
(1) Physical damage, excessive wear, or missing items.
(2) State of pressurization, fluids, and seals.
(3) State of round launch hardware and protective shields.
(4) State of electrical connectors, cables, grounds, and power sources.
(5) State of indicators, controls, and adjustments.
(6) State of detents, stops, couplings, and fasteners.
b.
Check output of launch platform firing circuits. Check limit and interlock switches.
c.
Perform built-in test equipment (BITE) checks.
d.
Check collimation between sights, sensors, and launch tubes.
e. Conduct non-destructive inspections (i.e., radiographic, ultrasonic, magna-flux, eddy-
current, etc.) of critical design items or suspected failed items.
H.4-12.2 Temperature Cycling Tests.
Subject the launch platform and support items to low-temperature and high-temperature cycle
tests as described in Appendix C, Annex 2, paragraphs C.1-2 and C.1-4.
H.4-12.3 Tactical Dynamics Tests.
a. Road Test. Each launch platform or the launcher with its tactical carrying vehicle and
(as applicable) support items are subjected to a transportability road test. This test evaluates
vehicle brake systems, side slope performance, turning capability, endurance, vibration effects,
and the effects of deep water emersion. The road test is conducted over the various types of
standardized road courses at various speeds for a minimum of 800 km. Fifty percent of the mileage
is performed using the most severe road condition (usually paved road for tracked vehicles and
washboard for wheeled vehicles). Record the driver's judgment of the vehicle's road performance,
that is, ease of handling, tracking, etc. It is recommended that strategic vehicle and launcher
locations be instrumented with accelerometers for vibration analysis. If applicable, evaluate the
shallow fording (minimum 76 cm) and deep water capabilities of the vehicle.
b. Tactical Vibration Test. Laboratory vibration tests may be required on small launchers
and support items. Develop the laboratory vibration test schedules from data obtained during road
tests performed over severe terrain. Vibration specification development guidance is provided in
