This section establishes interface requirements to prevent injury to personnel and accidental ignition of flammable volatile fuels which could occur onboard ship as a result of electromagnetic radiation.

The basic characteristics and constraint categories concerned with this interface are shown symbolically on figure 1 (see paragraph "Definitions" of MIL-STD-1399);

The particular interface characteristics and constraints pertinent to this section are described in 5.2 and 5.3.

This section applies to electromagnetic radiation generated on-board a ship which may be hazardous to personnel exposed to such radiation, or which, under certain circumstances, can cause accidental ignition of flammable volatile fuels.
