Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com TOP 1-2-622 11 September 2009 1. SCOPE. This Test Operations Procedure (TOP) is a general outline on test and analysis procedures required to determine the effects of a specified Vertical Electromagnetic Pulse (VEMP) environment on Army materiel. The purpose of these test and analysis procedures is to ascertain the degree to which the Operational Requirements Document (ORD), Capabilities Development Document (CDD), Army Regulation (AR) 70-75 1** , Independent Evaluation Plan (IEP)/Independent Assessment Plan (IAP) criteria, and Army Nuclear Hardening Criteria (NHC) are met.

Army materiel can consist of complete end items, subsystems, Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), components or piece-parts of major systems. All materiel must be tested and analyzed to its NHC with respect to the performance of all its mission essential functions. Realistic hardware, and practical test configurations and scenarios must be tested and analyzed in order to achieve an accurate and complete VEMP Survivability Test and Assessment (STA). All VEMP STAs must include a three phase approach in order to meet the requirements of Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 5000.1 2 , AR 70-75 and its NHC 3 .

This TOP adheres to an integrated set of test principles and procedures that will result in timely, reliable, and consistent data for VEMP survivability assessment. This document is encouraged for use by all VEMP survivability testers (government and contractor) for test planning, for test conducting, and for acquiring and analyzing data in technical and customer tests. 2. FACILITIES AND INSTRUMENTATION. 2.1 Facilities. Acceptable VEMP test facilities can be categorized as radiating VEMP or bounded wave VEMP. Simulators in these categories will be vertically polarized.

Vertically polarized simulators should be utilized on systems which response vertically such as missiles, aircraft or those possessing large vertical antennas. Item Requirement Vertical Electromagnetic Pulse Simulator To be able to provide test items, such as missiles, aircraft and high vertical antenna structures to the required Electric Field (E-Field) and Magnetic Field (H-Field) from 25 percent to 200 percent of the MIL-STD 2169B 4 requirement. Examples of acceptable VEMP facilities are shown in Table 1 on the following page. ** Superscript numbers correspond to those in Appendix H, References. 2
