2 FOREWORD 1. Beneficial comments (recommendation, additions, and deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document shall be addressed to: Chairman DoD Fuze Engineering Standardization Working Group U.S. rmy rmament Research, Development and Engineering Center TTN: rmy Fuze Management Office (RDR-EIF) Picatinny rsenal, NJ DoD, Guideline for Qualification of Fuzes, Safe and rm Devices (S&), and Ignition Safety Devices (ISD), dated, supersedes DoD FESWG Document , Guideline for Qualification of Fuzes, Safe and rm Devices (S&), and Ignition Safety Devices (ISD), dated 07 October

3 1. SCOPE This guideline provides guidance on qualification test plan definition of fuzes, S&s and ISDs. The primary purpose of the qualification guideline is to standardize a minimally acceptable test series, addressing safety and basic suitability for service use. It is expected that other tests and test items would be added, as required, based on unique program specifications and munition lifecycle to further support suitability for service use. This guideline applies to fuzes, S&s and ISDs. Exclusions include nuclear weapons systems and trainers, flares and signals dispensed by hand-held devices and pyrotechnic countermeasure devices. These tests do not replace the basic munition safety tests of MIL-STD This guideline has been developed by the DoD Fuze Engineering Standardization Working Group (DoD FESWG) for use by the rmy Fuze Safety Review Board (FSRB), the rmy Ignition System Safety Review Board (ISSRB), the ir Force Nonnuclear Munitions Safety Board (NNMSB), and the Navy Fuze and Initiation System Technical Review Panel (FISTRP). These Service Safety Review uthorities will review fuze, S& and ISD qualification test plans for compliance with this guideline. 2. PPLICBLE DOCUMENTS MIL-STD-331 MIL-STD-461 MIL-STD-464 MIL-STD-810 MIL-STD-1316 MIL-HDBK-1512 MIL-STD-1901 MIL-STD-1911 Fuze and Fuze Components, Environmental and Performance Tests for Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment Electromagnetic Environmental Effects Requirements for Systems Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests Fuze Design, Safety Criteria for Electroexplosive Subsystems, Electroexplosive Subsystems, Electrically Initiated, Design Requirements and Test Methods Munition Rocket and Missile Motor Ignition System Design, Safety Criteria for Hand-Emplaced Ordnance Design, Safety Criteria for 3

4 MIL-STD-2169 High ltitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) Environment (Copies of these documents are available online at or from the Standardization Document Order Desk, 700 Robbins venue, Building 4D, Philadelphia, P ) 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 General. s part of qualification, all fuzes, S&s and ISDs shall be subjected to Sequential Environment (Waterfall) Testing, Miscellaneous Tests, Performance Tests, and Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Tests. These requirements do not constitute an entire qualification program. Rather, they must be included as part of the qualification program. 3.2 Test Basis. In general, MIL-STD-331 should be used as the test basis for qualification of fuzes, S&s and ISDs. In the case where the Stockpile to Target Sequence (STS) environments are greater than those of MIL-STD-331, the STS environments must be employed. Tests from other standards (i.e., MIL-STD-810) or Test Operations Procedures (TOP) may be employed when there is no similar MIL- STD-331 test or such standards pose more severe test parameters. 3.3 Sequential Environment Testing Sequential environment testing representative of fuze, S& or ISD life cycle will consist of Transportation Vibration (Trans Vib), Temperature and Humidity (T&H), Extreme Temperature (ET), Thermal Shock (TS) and Tactical Vibration (Tac Vib) as a minimum. Non-operating environments should occur prior to operating environments in test series There are two methods for conducting Sequential Environment Testing. One of the two test methods shall be employed as part of a fuze, S& or ISD qualification program. minimum of thirty test items are required to be subject to all environments in prescribed sequence for either Method Method I. Method I is intended to be the baseline test series and includes full duration tests outlined in Figure 1a depicts the environmental test sequence for Method I. Figure 1b depicts an expanded notional example of the sequential test flow for Method I Method II. Method II requires the same sequential environment tests as in Method I, but allows for lesser T&H and ET test duration in the sequential path. However, additional, full duration T&H and ET tests must be conducted in parallel to the sequential tests. This allows for a reduced test schedule, but an increase in test items in comparison to Method I. Figures 2a and 2b depict the environmental test sequence 4

5 for Method II. Figure 2c depicts an expanded notional example of the test flow for Method II. minimum of three test items are required for each full duration ET and T&H tests conducted in parallel with the sequential environment tests in Method II Sequence of Environments. The sequence of environments for Test Methods I & II depicted in Figures 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 2c is the preferred sequence. Deviations from this should be considered on a case by case basis. 3.4 Miscellaneous Tests s part of the qualification program for fuzes, S&s and ISDs, the following safety tests shall be conducted on the fuze, S& or ISD: Primary Explosive Component Safety/Out-of-Line, Jolt, Jumble One-and-a-half Meter (5 foot) Drop, Transportation Handling, Transportation Vibration and Twelve Meter (Forty Foot) Drop. (One-and-ahalf Meter Drop test not required here if conducted as part of Sequential Environment Tests.) Miscellaneous Tests shall be conducted as described in Figure dditional Miscellaneous Tests shall be conducted as described in Figure 4. 5
