not compromise the collection of other required data while performing their function. Witness plate use and configuration should be included in detailed test plans submitted to the appropriate service IM review organizations for approval.
4.7 Configuration. Ensure the test item configuration accurately represents the configuration of the item in the life cycle phase being duplicated by the test. For fast cook-off, slow cook-off, bullet impact, sympathetic reaction, shaped charge jet, and 12 meter (40 ft) drop testing; refer to the
respective STANAGs for test item configuration. Temperature and
humidity tests may be done on the major munition subsystem level. The electronic or other sections not containing explosives may be mechanically, geometrically, and thermally simulated for any test. Specify the test item configuration to be used in detail in the test plan and have it approved by the service review organization. Mount the test items so they do not affect the munition response to the given test.
4.7.1 Logistical configuration (storage, shipping, or transportation). The logistical configuration is the packaged configuration in which the munition is stored, shipped, or transported. The tested configuration will include the appropriate palletization and strapping materials in accordance with the appropriate service's applicable logistics documentation and drawings. In the event that a munition has different storage, shipping, or transportation configurations or multiple configurations, the configuration expected to result in the reaction to the test stimuli providing the maximum credible event will be tested.
4.7.2 Operational configuration. The operational configuration is the tactical configuration in which a
munition is ready to be employed as an AUR in an unpackaged or
bare state. In the case where a munition is not removed from its packaging or shipping container prior to employment, the logistical configuration testing should be replicated where the configuration requirements of section 5 specify any operational configuration tests.
4.8 Pre-test examination. Unless otherwise specified (see paragraph 6.3), prior to each test (see figure 2), conduct a visual and radiographic inspection of the test item, in accordance with ASTM E1742/E1742M , to ensure no unusual conditions exist that might invalidate the tests. Set or adjust
