scope:

This handbook establishes guidelines for the development of environmental engineering design and test requirements for air-launched weapons.

Purpose.

The purpose of this handbook is to:

a. Provide acquisition activities with guidelines for the implementation of the required "most realistic environmental test" in addition to MIL-STD-810.

b. Provide guidelines for determining the environmental conditions to which airlaunched weapons will be subjected during the factory-to-target sequence.

c. Describe the tasks involved in applying the essential environmental design criteria in all phases of weapon development.

d. Provide the developer with background environmental design and test data in the development of air-launched weapon.

intended Use:

This handbook provides acquisition activities the guidelines for the development of environmental engineering design and test requirements specifically for airlaunched weapons.
