MIL-STD-1911A
FOREWORD
1. This Military Standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the
Department of Defense.
2. Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document shall be addressed to: Commander, US Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command Research and Development Center, ATTN: AMSTA-AR-QAW-E, Picatinny Arsenal NJ 07806-5000, by using the self- addressed Standardization Document Improvement proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter. Comments should be forwarded through the designated Reviewing Activity listed in 6.7.
3. This standard established the general design principles and specific design safety criteria applicable to hand-emplaced ordnance (HEO) throughout its life cycle. It addresses the unique attributes of hand-emplaced ordnance: safety of manual operations coupled with the need for very high functional reliability.
4. The requirements of MIL-STD-1316, "Fuze Design, Safety Criteria For," are applicable to ordnance that is NOT hand-emplaced. When feasible, HEO system and munition designers are encouraged to use ordnance designs whose safety systems conform to the requirements of MIL-STD-1316.
5. The tests of MIL-STD-331, "Fuze and Fuze Components, Environmental and Performance Test For," should prove useful in evaluating the design safety of hand- emplaced ordnance. The tests and test procedures of MIL-STD-2105, "Hazard Assessment Tests for Non-Nuclear Munitions," provide a framework for developing a program for hand-emplaced ordnance.
