Purpose

This handbook supplements MIL-STD-464 by providing guidance for the assessment of the Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO) verification margins in that standard. It is concerned with HERO testing for all Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard ordnance items and support equipment for all mission areas. Although intended primarily for use by Department of Defense (DoD) HERO test activities, the handbook also provides a consolidation of "corporate knowledge" about the subject that should be of interest to procurement authorities and system developers.

This handbook is for guidance only and cannot be cited as a requirement.

intended Use:

This handbook can be used by any facility engaged in HERO testing for any of the military departments.
