1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to insure the safety of
personnel, Taunch site tacilities, and space vehicles from the hazards
resulting from electroexplosive subsystem unintentional initiation or failure
fo fire. The requirements and test methods contained in this ducument are aut
intended to insure all electroexplosive subsystem performance requirements
except in those cases where failure to perform would create a hazard to the
items listed above. The electroexplosive subsystem is composed of all
components from the power source to, and including, the EED (electroexplosive
device); Safe and Arm devices, Arm/Disarm switches, relays and all electrical
wiring used to monitor, control, arm and fire ordnance are specifically
included. This Standard applies to all space vehicle systems (e.g., launch
vehicles, upper stages, boosters, payloads, and related systems using EEDs).
1,2 Test Methods. The test methods described herein have been prepared to:
a. Specify laboratory test conditions for electroexplosive subsystems
and components which will produce test results that are equivalent to
those which would be experienced in the actual operational environ-
ment and which will permit reproducibility of test results.
b. Describe all test methods for clectrocxplosive subsystems and
components needed to ensure compliance with the requirements of the
specification.
Provide Test Method 2208 as a Standard method for RF dudding
evaluation if required by the procuring activity.
1.2.1 Revision of Test Methods. Revisions of each test method shall be
indicated by a revision number following the method number. For example, the
first revision of Test Method 1101 would be 1101-1, the second revision would
be 1101.2, et cetera.
1.3. Application. This Standard is applicable to the entire electroexplosive
subsystem life cycle, up to the time when the electroexplosive subsystem no
longer presents a hazard to personnel, launch sice facilities and manned or
reusable pace systems. Thic Standard aleo applies to expendable Launch
vehicles which present these types of hazards.
a. This Standard is intended to be used by procuring activities for
establishing all of the electroexpiosive subsystem safety
requirements to be included in specifications for the design and
development of new hardware for new or old space systems.
bs This Standard is intended co be used by procuring activities and
government safety organization for a eafety evaluation of previously
uged hardware on new space systems as well as for a safety evaluation
of new hardware on new or old space systems.MIL~STD-1576 (USAF)
31 July 1984
cs This Standard is not intended to be used by procuring activities for
establishing all of the performance (as opposed to safety)
requirements to be included in specifications for the design and
development of new ordnance system hardware tor new or old space
systeus, but it can be used ty establish many electroexplosive
subsystem performance requirements. This Standard docs not address
elements of explosive trains which exist beyond an EED, except for
S6A configurations.
d. This Standard is intended to be used by space system procuring
activities in lieu of MIL~STD-1512, "Electroexplosive Subsystems,
Electrically Initiated, Design Requirements and Test Methods."
MIL-STD-1512 contains requirements applicable to non-space systems,
such as aircraft weaponry, and hay not been superceded by this
Standard.
1.4 Minimum requirements. When the scope and magnitude of a program does not
warrant imposition of all the requirements specified herein, the procuring
activity shall obtain approval from the appropriate government safety
organization(s) and shall specify to the contractor the minimum acceptable
program requirements.MIL-STD-1576 (USAF)

3.0 DEFINITIONS
J. Lerms used, ‘The following are derinitions of terms as used in this
Standard:
4.11 Arm/pisarm (A/D) Dei An Arm and Disarm Device is an electrically
or mechanically a¢tuated switch which can make or break one or more electro-
explosive tiring circuits. A/D devices do not physically interrupt the
explosive train.
3.1.2 Arm Plug. A plug that makes the tiring circuit continuous when
inserted in a connector.
S:Le5 Bridgevire. A bridgewire is defined as a resistance element within the
electroexplosive device which is the final electrical element at the
electrical/explosive interface.
3.1.4 Catastrophic Hazard. A catastrophic hazard 1s a hazard that has the
potential for personnel fatality, loss of launch site tacilities, or loss of
reusable or manned launch vehicles. This definition also applies to
expendable Launcn venicles which present these types of hazards.
3.1,5 Conductive Mix. A conductive mix refers to the thermal conductivity of
the prime mix of an feb. Prime mixes with high thermal conductivity are used
co conduct heat avay from a bridyewire to permit higher no fire current
levels. See paragraph 3.1.0.
Js1.6 Conductive Mix BED. A conductive mix EED is one that does not use a
bridgewire ot any type. The Firing power flows through the mix itself and
heats the mix directly for firing.
3.1.7 Critical Hazard. A critical nazard is a hazard that has the potential

4.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Coneral Design. Requirements peculiar to clectroexplosive subsystems are
covered in this Standard.
a, Those general requirements not peculiar to electrical components of
electroexplosive subsystems shall be in accordance with applicable
Standards as specified by the procuring activity.
be
Electroexplosive subsystems shall meet design requirements under
specified environmental conditions. Environmental conditions are
specified in either the individual design requirements or in test
requirements. When designing to meet the environmental conditions in
test requirements, one must consider not only a specific test method,
but also the environmental conditioning the device receives due to
the sequence in which test methods are accomplished.
4.2 Fault Tolerance.
4.2.1 General Requirements. The design of an electroexplosive subsystem
performing a safety critical function (as defined in paragraph 3.1.31) shall
tolerate a minimum number of credible failures or operator errors according to
the following criteria:
4. If loss of function is safety critical or catastrophic, the design of
the electroexplosive subsystem shall preclude single point failures
and shall include at least two electroexplosive devices (EDs).
b. If inadvertent firing is safety critical, the design of the electro
explosive subsystem shall provide a condition such that no single
failure or single operator error can cause a critical hazard aud uo
combination of two failures or operator errors can cause a
catastrophic hazard.
4.2.2 Implementation. This Standard shall be used to prepare requirements
for inclusion in contract work statements. The contractor shall impose all
requirements on his subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors to the extent of
applicabilicy.
a, Safety devices shall be used in each electroexplosive subsystem to
provide an electrical interrupt between each EED and its firing
b. Safety devices shall be designed to be reversible (i.e., from the arm
to sate position) when performing safety critical functions. This
requirement applies to devices that cau be activated prior to
deployment from a manned vehicle, and in any situation in which
danger to personnel and property exists.
13MIL-STD=1576 (USAF)
31 July 1984
S6A devices, or EBW firing umits as well as other devices intended to
interrupt the explosive train, shall be used to prevent inadvertent
Solid Rocket Motor ignition and destruct initiation.
4.2.3. Extent of Applicability. Each provision of this Standard shall be
considered as applicable to each EED and subsystem.
Requests for deviation, waiver, or supplementary requirements, shall
be individually submitted to the procuring activity for approval.
Where a requirement of this Standard would necessitate duplication
wholly or in part, of valid design, analysis, test, or other such
valid activity already specified by the procuring activity, those
requirements, functions, and efforts shall be identified and utilized
in demonstrating compliance with the respective requirements
specified herein. Duplication is not required.
The design and testing of electroexplosive subsystem elements which
have been previously approved shall require an evaluation for each
subsequent usage. This is of particular concern with respect to
Previously approved EEDs (e.g, the NASA Standard Initiator) and S&A
devices. Subsequent usage of previously approved devices shall
require a comparison of the device's design and Lest specifications
with thie Standard's design and test requirements. Thie comparicon
Will yield three categories:
Agreement between a design or test specification of the
previously approved device with the corresponding
Tequirement of this Standard, and documentation to that
effect.
2. Disagreement between a design or test epccification of the
previously approved device with the corresponding
requirement of this Standard (e.g., the NSI does not meet
the insulation resistance requirements of this Standard nor
do all NSIs go through the complete acceptance test program
in Table L11 or through the aging or surveillance test
program of Tables IV or V). Additional testing (of each
manufacturing lot) shall be conducted to comply with the
Tequirements of this Standard or documentation of the
procuring activity's unconditional approval of each
deficient area is required prior to any subsequent us-ge.
Comparisons which can only be made between the device's
design and test specification and the procuring activity's
design and test requirements for each application (e.g.
the environmental testing of the NSI may not be suffic
to demonstrate environmental survivability of the NSI in a
particular application or the NSIs case material may not be
compatible with its mating connector in a particular
application). ocumentation that the intended application
is within the design and test requirements of the
previously approved device is required.

31 July 1984
4. Requirements herein, that are relative to unintentional initiation,
shall be applicable to all electroexplosive subsystems, unless
otherwise specified by che procuring activity. If inadvertent

hazardous activity (e.g., vehicle demating) to be performed as a
result of that inadvertent initiation, these requirements need not
apply. Requirements herein that are relative to failure-to-fire
shall be applicable only if the resulting non-function is safety
critical, unless otherwise specified by the procuring activity.
e. The design and test requirements imposed by this Standard are
applicable for all low voltage hot bridgewire initiators, but are not
gufficient for all types of initiators, e.g, Exploding Bridgewire
(EBW) devices, Exploding Foil devices, Percussion Activated devices,
etc. The procuring activity will tailor this Standard and impose
additional requirements for the design, selection and test of these
items. These items may be considered for use, but they shall not be

LEAK TEST
1. Purpose. To determine the effectiveness of the seal of a component part
which has an internal cavity which is either evacuated or contains air or
gas. This test will detect leaks due to the use of inferior sealing
terials, or mumufacturing processes used to form the seal. The degree of
completences or the seal can be verified by testing in the "as received"
condition or after submission €o other environmental or physical-
characteristic tests, such as thermal shock, physical shack, or vibration
+ Test Description.
NOTE: (The final (10x magnification) visual inspection performed in
Method 1101 will serve to reject defective units which could
result in a gross leaker. Method 1101 shall be performed prior
to the leak teating per thie method).
One of the following procedures shall be performed:
Procedure 1. The completed device(s) shall be placed in a sealed chamber
which is evacuated to a pressure of 25 millimeters of mercury (absolute) or
less for a minimum of five minutes and then pressurized (bonbed) with helium
for the time and pressure noted in Table 1111-1 below, based upon the device's
internal free volune.

last device can be completed within 10 minutes. The criterion for passing
this test is an indicated measured leak rate less than or equal to 1xi0~6
standard cc/second of helium when measured at one atmosphere differential
pressure, unless otherwise specified by the procuring activity.
NOTE: (The values specified for this procedure are based on MIL-STD-202,
Method 112 and will result in the acceptance of units with an actual
leak rate of less than or equal to 5x10~6 STD cm3/sec of helium.)

DIRECT GURRENT SENSITIVITY
1, Purpose. This test determines pin-to-pin direct current characteristics
of electroexplosive devices based on an assumed current log normal density
function. The primary use of the determined characteristics is anticipated to
be the specification of a pin-to-pin “maximum no-fire level" for the EED that
will be used to support dc or low frequency hazard analyses. It is recognized
that uy swall sample, e-gs 40 items, Lest cau accurately determine # suall
firing probability (ess than 102) with high confidence unless other
information about the firing characteristic of the individual EED type is
available or assumed. Thus the "maximum no-fire level" determined by this
overall test is to be treated as an acceptable level for use in hazard
analyses and not as a rigorously determined parameter.
The test described below, uses a 5 minute constant current pulse as a
stimulus. Other stimuli can be substituted for special purposes. For
instance, the 5 minute stimulus is preferred for 2 maximum no-fire level
determination whereas a 30 millisecond constant current pulse is preferred for
all-fire level determinations and 1 millisecond constant current pulse is
preferred for one of the tests in Method 2208. Bruceton tests using 5 minute
continuous or pulsed RF stimuli can also be run using this procedure.
2. Number of Required Items. Forty-five or more electroexplosive devices are
required for this test. Forty items are required for a Bruceton test. In
addition, five items are normally used in estimating the mean and Standard
deviation of the firing current. However, more items may be required
depending on how well the initial estimates of the mean and standard deviation
are made. Very bad choices of the mean and standard deviation cause a failure
of the Bruceton test and will require another forty items.
Environmental Conditions
3.1 Test temperature. The test should be performed under ambient
(approximately 25°C) temperature conditions, or operational temperatures if
conditions include exposure of the EED to potentially hazardous pin-to-pin
stimuli at elevated temperatures. The BED and heat sink (intended to simulate
actual installation) shall be allowed to come to thermal equilibrium at the
test temperature before the stimulus is applied to the BED.
3.2 Heat sinking. The heat sinking environment of the BED shall approximate
the predicted operational thermal environment. If the thermal environments
for the EED usage are multiple or unknown, the minimum heat sinking should be
used during the test. If hazards related to "hand held" environments are to
be evaluated, the EED should be mounted ia a fixture that effectively
insulates the EED against heat transfer to the environment.
-a.- METHOD 2203
31 JULY 1984MIL-STD-1576 (USAF)
31 July 1984
4, Procedure.
4.1 Test description. A 5 minute constant current pulse applied to the
bridgewire of the EED shall be used aa the stimuius in a 40 item minimum
Bruceton test. Five items, in addition to the 40 teat items are provided ta
allow pretest exposures of the EEDs to the test stimuli. This shall provide
an estimate of the mean and variance of the assumed log normal density
function. The current pulse amplitudes to be used for the test are to be
chosen such that neighboring tests vary by a logarithmic increment
approximately equal (0.5 to 1.25) to the Standard deviation. In the event of
a no-fire the EED will not be disconnected from the system. A current pulse
large enough to ensure firing shall be applied to the EED. If the EED still
fails to fire, the no-fire data point will be omitted from the test and the
reason for the no-fire determined and reported.
During testing each exposure shall be monitored to provide a permanent record
(an oscilloscope picture, digital recording on floppy disk, etc.) of the
voltage and current of the bridgewire during the 5 minute pulse. These
records shall be retained by the facility performing the test.
4.2 Calculations. Computation of the Bruceton test results shall be made on
both fire (X) and no-fire (0) data. Any deviation exceeding 10% between the X
determined sigma and the 0 determined sigma will be sufficient to void the
test and be cause for rerun of the test. The difference is computed by the
ratio of the larger sigma to the smaller signa, and a ratio greater than 110%
Will void the test. Tests showing less chan 4 or greater than 7 or more
levels shall also be considered void and the test must be rerun. Confidence
levels shall be calculated using the average of the Standard deviations and
the average of the means (log) as determined by the X and 0 data.
The actual computations of the Bruceton results should be performed by a
computer program that is capable of demonstrating its accuracy by calculating
log normal density function parameters from simulated Bruceton procedure rest
results. These simulated results must be consistent with an assumed log
normal density function. This verification, which consists of simulated test
results, the assumed distribution parameters, and the Bruceton calculation,
should be included with the test results.
‘The 0.001 (0.1%) firing level of the EED, in amperes with 95% confidence,
shall be computed from the Bruceton test results.
4.3 Test equipment. Test equipment shall be checked for calibration before
any data is taken and an estimate made of maximum errors that are possible in
pulse amplitudes and durations.

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) IMPEDANCE.
1, Purpose. To measure the radio frequency impedance of electroexplosive
devices.*
2. Apparatus. The impedance measuring equipment shall function at extremely
low radio frequency power levels so that the electroexplosive devices are not
subjected to heating effects. Automatic equipment is preferred. It ie
suggested that no more than 1 millivatt be applied to the electroexplosive
device in any firing mode during the measurements.
The mounting apparatus used to connect the electroexplosive device to the
impedance measuring apparatus will be constructed so that the impedance
measurements refer to a point as close to the base of the electroexplosive
device (exterior surface of the EED header) ao is possible.
3. Test environment. All tests will be run at room temperature
(Gpproximately 25°C).
4, Number of items required. The minimum number of electroexplosive devices
to be used in the impedance measurements is ten. These items may be reused in
the Method 2207 or 2208 testing.
5. Firing modes. Impedances shall be measured for each potential firing mode
of the electroexplosive device. Specifically, pin-to-pin and pin-to-case
impedances will be measured for 2-pin conventional hot wire EEDs. For dual
bridge wire EEDs measurements will be performed in the pin-to-pin, pin-to-case
and bridge-to-bridge firing modes.
6. Frequencies. Impedance measurements will be performed at 10 frequencies
between 1 and 1200 megahertz. The individual measurement frequencies should
be selected so that neighboring frequencies differ from each other by an
approximately equal Logarithmic increment.
* During a worst case analysis of a system's susceptibility (Method 4303) to
its electromagnetic environment, a worst-case parameter is used for the
impedance (i.e. the DC resistance). Tf this worat-case resistance parameter
causes a rejection of the worst-case analysis results, RF impedance can be
used to reduce predicted analytical results.

Basic radio frequency sensitivity probing test
(1) At each radio frequency to be used in the test, the radio
frequency power to be applied to the electroexplosive devices is
determined from the mean de firing current measured in Method
2203 and de bridgewire resistance. This level shall be applied
to the devices in each mode (i.e, pin-to-pin, pin-to case,
bridgewire-to~bridgewire).
(2) Equipment used in the tests shall provide a means to account for
loss in the power supplying system. Applied powers shall be
demonstrated to be those actually delivered to the input of the
EED. Mounting hardware for the EED shall be constructed to
allow measurement of power as close Co the EED (exterior surface
of the EED header) base as possible. In addition the
environmental conditions of Method 2203, paragraph 3, shall be
complied with.
(3) At least 10 frequencies shall be used in the probing tests.
These frequencies should be chosen to cover the frequency range
from 1 Witz to 32 Gilz and should include any frequency
corresponding to a known high power density in the EEDs
operational environment. Special consideration should be given
to frequencies that correspond to transmitters associated with
the overall system of which the EED is a part. If there are no
specific requirements, the following approximate frequency and

bridgewires, test 10 more in this mode. Up to five
electroexplosive devices that did not fire in the pin-to-pin
test can be reused in the pin-to-case test. Thus RF probing
tests require, at each frequency, 15 items for a two-pin single
bridge device and 25 items for a dual bridge device.
(5) Count the number of firings at each frequency. At any
particular frequency, if two or less fire, it can be stated with
very small risk that the electroexplosive devices are less
sensitive to the test condition than they are to direct current,
and the direct current sensitivity level can be used for
subsequent analysis. If from three to seven electroexplosive
devices fire, they can be considered to be of the same order of
sensitivity to the Lest condition as to the direct current
susceptibility level, and the direct current level can be used
in subsequent calculations with a risk of approximately 11
percent. If eight or more fire, there is little doubt that the
electroexplosive device is more sensitive to the test conditions
than to the direct current level.
c. Statistical radio frequency tests.
(1) From the data obtained in the probing tests described above,
determine the most sensitive frequency/nodulation stimulus for
each firing mode, in other words, determine the frequency which
had the most firings and specify the modulation (pulsed or GW).

Forty items are required for each firing mode of the device
being tested. Thus 80 items are required for a two-pin single
bridge device and 120 items for a dual bridge device.

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) DUDDING EVALUATION
1. Purpose. This test is used to evaluate the possibility of RF Dudding for
EEDs. If RF energy applied to an EED in the pin-to-pin (normal) firing mode
can desensitize the EED, then mission reliability can be compromised. This
test evaluates the RF dudding susceptibility at the 10% firing level
(Probability) at the most sensitive frequency. Essentially the method
compares de pulse Bruceton test results (see Method 2203) for virgin items and
for EEDs expoocd to the 10% pin-to-pin firing level (1.2816 Sigma below the
mean) as determined in Method 2207. Since dudding effects can vary with
firing pulse time, the method requires comparison of Bruceton data on RF
exposed and non-RF exposed groups for two de pulse times of 5 minutes and 1
millisecond. These are chosen to be long and short, respectively, in relation
to the thermal time constant of the EED bridgewire.
2. Nuuber of devices reyuired. A total of 120 devices are required if che
results of Method 2203 are available; if not, 165 devices are required.
3. Procedure. The following tests must be performe:
(a) Method 2203 must have been performed on 40 units using a 5 minute
pulse prior to the tests which tollow.
(>) Perform test 2203 on a second group of 40 units using a 1 millisecond
dc pulse.
(c) A third group of 80 virgin EEDs shall be exposed pin-to-pin using the
equipment of Method 2207 to the 10% firing level (probability) as
calculated from the pin-to-pin RF Bruceton test of Method 2207. This
exposure shall be for 5 minuces. It is expected that several items
will fire.
(4) The items remaining from the RF exposure shall be divided into two
approximately equal groups. One group shall be used to rerun the 1
millisecond Bruceton described in 3(b) above; the other group shall
be used to rerun the 5 minute Bruceton performed in accordance with
Method 2203
mal density parameters shall be compared for virgin and
exposed items for both the 1 millisecond and 5 minute tests. Any
large differences in the mean indicate a propensity for RF dudding,
or possibly RF sensitization.
* This test is not recommended if the electroexplosive devices will not be
exposed to RF levels greater than the RF no-fire level, as determined by
Method 2207. The maximum RF exposure level is that maximum level determined
by Method 4303.

EXAMPLE EEO ANALYSIS TOOL
10, GENERAL.
10.1 Scope. This appendix is included as part of this Standard for the
purposes of providing an example analysis tool to assess the safety of
clectroexplosive devices (LLDs) in environments with stray electromagnetic
signals. Use of this technique to satisfy the requirements of paragraph
6.10.c and Test Method 4303 is not mandatory as other techniques and
mechanizations are available. Consequently, the user of this tool assumes
full responsibility for his results.
10.2 Overview and Application. This analysis tool pertorms a "worst case"
analysis of the EED subsystem to determine if the EEDs are safe in the
payload's RF environment. If this analysis shows a system is safe, then it is
quite safe. On the other hand, an indication of "not safe" from the analysis
does not prove that the system is unsafe, but that more specific analysis or
testing is required for the system safety to be established.

40.1 Host Computer.
40.1.1 Deseripeion. This EED Analysis Tool is implemented on an HP=R5
Personal Computing System. Peripheral equipment includes a HP82901M Dual
Flexible Disk Drive, HP7225A Plotter, and HP2613B Line Printer. The HP-85
ust have at least 32K of internal memory and be programmable in BASIC.
4U.1.2 Power-up Procedures.
a. Turn equipment on: First turn on all peripherals to be used (disk
drive, printer, plotter). Then turn on the HP-85 unit.
b, Insert program diskette into Drive 0 and data diskette into Drive 1.
c. Run Program: the program is run by loading and running a tile named
MANAGER. Type: GHAIN "MANAGER" and press [End Line]. No further
user initialization is required.
4U.2 EEDAT Program Protocol.
40.2.1 System Prompts. Whenever the software reaches a point requiring user
input, it displays a descriptive phrase followed by "?" as follows:

40.2.2 User Responses. The user should type the appropriate entry and press
{end Line].
40.2.3 Data Files. Data files are created at several points in the program.
At each of these points the user is given 3 options:
a. Use the default file
b. Use an exieting file
c. Create a new file

files on subsequent runs. Files which are ro be re-used should be entered via
the "Create" option and given a unique name.MIL-STD-1576 (USAF)
31 July 1984
40.2.3.2 User Detined Files. The user must insure that correct bookkeeping
is followed. Two cautions regarding user defined files are appropriate: (a)
there is no check to insure that data files are properly used; ives, no test
is made to assure that an impedance file is being used for impedance tata and
(>) improper naming of files can cause a halt in program execution; e.g.,
creating a new file with a name already being used to name an existing file or
attempting to recall a data file which doesn't exist are fatal errors.
40.2.4 Error Recovery. To recover froma fatal error, the user must type
CHAIN "MANAGER" [End Tine] and start over.
50. DETAILED DESCRIPTION.
50.1 Program Executive. There are three basic functions from which the user
may select: environment specification, model selection and output. The top
level flow chart which shows relationship between the various functions and
files is shown in Figure A-l. The executive which calls the principal
subroutines is named MANAGER. MANAGEK causes the appropriate function to be
executed based on keyboard input by the user. User prompting is provided
through the Main Menu of MANAGER as shown below:
EED ANALYSIS PROGRAM

(2) PROCESS DATA FILE FOR OUTPUT
(3) SELECT + RUN ANALYSIS MODEL
(4) PROCESS PROGRAM OUTPUT
(5) END PROGRAM
50.2 Electromagnetic Environment Input. This function is accessed by
selecting subroutine (1) of the Main Menu. The user specifies the
electromagnetic environment in which the ED is to be analyzed, following the
computer prompt:
DATA FILE SELECTION
ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT
(1) USE DEFAULT FILE
(2) USE EXISTING FILE
(3) CREATE NEW FILE
(4) RETURN TO MAIN MENU
options (1) through (3) give the user some flexibility in handling the EM
environment data. New environment data is input to either a temporary file
using option (1), or to a permanent tile using option (3). An existing
permanent file containing the desired EM environment data can be accessed by
exercising option (2).MIL-S7D-1576 (USAF)

50.2.2 Option (2): USE EXISTING FILE. This system allows the user to use
data in a file which was previously created via option (3) (see 50.2.3).
After selecting option (2), user is prompted with
ENTER EXACT EXISTING FILE NAME
Now enter the file name of the existing file containing EM environment data.
If a matching file is found this file becomes the environments file used in
the analysis, program control returns to MANAGER, and the Main Menu is again
displayed. If no file name is found to match the name internal, the following
message appears:
Error 67 on Line 657 : FILE NAME
Program execution ceases and the user must re-initialize by typing CHAIN
"MANAGER" [End Line].
50.2.3 Option (3): CREATE NEW FILE. This option requires the user to input
anew file name and data.

procedures are identical with those of the Default File, option (1) (see
50.261).
50.3 Select & Run Analysis Model. This function is accessed when subroutine
(3) of the Rain Menu is selected. 1c contains routines for input of EED data
and computes the power coupled into that EED as a function of frequency. The
user epecifies the physical parameters of the EED cubsystem and chooses the
type of analysis. The program stores results on output data files.
50.3-1 Data Kequirements. A file for storing output data, data which
specifies the EED radio frequency (KF) sensitivity, the impedance of the EED,
and the physical measurements ot the installation are required tor all

50.3.1.6 Geometry of Connecting Leads. A critical point in the physics of
euergy coupling is Che physical size and arrangement of the leads connected Lo
the EED. The data describing the arrangement of the leads may be input in two
ways: (a) as length and width of a presumed rectangular aperture, or (bh) as
the area and perimeter of an aperture. The equations for power coupling use
area or perimeters, so the user should use length and width with care. An
example of the data input sequence is shown below:

50.3.2 Model Execution. Following entry of the geometry data, the program
computes power coupled into the EED, stores the results on the data diskette
and returns control to the main ment. The equations used in the computations
are described in paragraph 60.
50.4 Output Format Processor. Any of the data files created during program
execution may be output to the plotter, line printer or both devices upon user
command. Data files for electromagnetic environment, EED sensitivity or
impedance are accessed through selection of subroutine (2) in the Main Menu.
ALLMIL-S1D~13/6 (USAF)
31 July 1984
The analysis output file containing the results of the power calculations is
processed tor output through selection of subroutine (4) in the Main Menu.
‘Tne following cnoices are available for the user:
a. Title of plot or Listing
b. Scale range (plotter only)
cs Axes labels (plotter only)
4. Linear or logarithmic axes (plotter only)
Needed uset actions are clearly indicated in the instructions displayed for
each entry. The program requests specitic choices and responds appropriately
to user comands during the course of the execution.
60. POWER EQUATIONS.
kquations used in this program were developed by Franklin Kesearch Institute
and adapted for this program as follows:
60.1 Gase 1: Pin-to-Pin, Continuous Incident Spectrum. For an aperture of
small size with respect to wavelength (lambda/2 greater than P) the power
coupled to the EED as a function of frequency may be expressed as
W (£) = 4.67 * 16 * 2 *B (£)
pi * (lambda)? ty.
where:
W (£) = power spectral density coupled to the EED (Watts/Hz)
A Area of aperture formed by input leads to EED (meters
squarea)
P, (£) = power spectral density incident on EED
leads (Watts/meter squared/Hz)
lambda = wavelengeh at frequency £ (lambda ~ 3 x 104 meters)
kp termination resistance of EED (ohms)
e = perimeter of aperture (meters)
f = frequency (Hz)
For an aperture of large size (P greater than lambda/2)
W (£) = DUambda)? Pi (£)
4 pi
where:
> directivity of loop.
For worst case calculations, a composite directivity of 3 antennas is used.
The composite as given in the reference document is shown here as Figure A-2.
