a. The design and implementation of the AHMD, including use of an existing AHMD on
other munitions for which they have not been specifically designed, shall require review and
concurrence or certification from the cognizant SSRA.
b.
The AHMD shall not degrade the overall system s safety.
c. The AHMD shall not degrade safety provided by the munition s Warhead Fuzing
System and/or Rocket Motor Ignition System below an acceptable level.
d. The AHMD shall be independent of the munition s Warhead Fuzing System and/or
Rocket Motor Ignition System.
e. The following analyses shall be performed to identify hazardous conditions for the
purpose of their elimination or control. Safety hazard analyses must consider the possibility of
activation of the AHMD with and without thermal threats in all its system configurations during
its lifecycle. These analyses shall be used in the preparation of system design, test, and
evaluation requirements.
(1) A preliminary hazard analysis (PHA) shall be conducted to identify and classify
hazards induced by credible lifecycle environments.
(2) System hazard analyses and detailed analysis, such as fault tree analyses (FTA),
and failure mode, effects, and criticality analyses (FMECA), shall be conducted.
(3) Munition system level hazards associated with the function of the AHMD shall be
evaluated. In addition, the hazards associated with an attempt to launch or deploy a munition
containing a previously functioned AHMD shall be evaluated.
(4) Launcher system level hazards associated with the function of the AHMD post
launch shall be evaluated.
f. The probability of the AHMD functioning without being subjected to thermal threats
shall not exceed one in one million during all credible lifecycle environments.
g. The temperature at which the AHMD will function shall be determined for each
system based on the temperature at which an unacceptable energetic reaction will occur. The
selected temperature should be as high as practical to provide first responders with as much time
as possible to fight fires or clear the affected area. An analysis supporting the selected
temperature shall be presented to the SSRA for concurrence.
h. The AHMD shall provide a positive, direct and unambiguous indication that it has
functioned.
i. Energetic materials used in the AHMD shall meet the booster explosive requirements
of the U.S. Annex of AOP-7. If the energetic materials do not meet the booster explosive
requirements of the U.S. Annex of AOP-7, they shall be interrupted and their inadvertent
