on technique is to verify that electromagnetic and electrical stresses induced internal to the system by external environments are below equipment strength by at least the margin. This approach is similar to the test methodology described in A.4.1 (e). While margins can sometimes be demonstrated by performing verification at a level in excess of the defined requirement, the intent of the margin is not to increase the requirement.

MIL-STD-464D APPENDIX A 51 The 16.5 dB margin specified for safety assurance for EIDs in ordnance is derived from the criterion in MIL-STD-1385 (which has been canceled and superseded by MIL-STD-464) that the maximum allowable ind
TABLE I are composite levels generated from the following major ship classes: Combatants (CG-47; DDG-51 Flights I, II, IIA and III; DDG-1000), Amphibious (LCC-19, LHA-6; LHD-1; LPD-17; and LSD-41 and -49), Carriers (CVN-68 and CVN-78), Mine Counter Measures (MCM-1), Patrol Coastal Craft (PC-1), and Littoral Combat Ships (LCS-1 and -2). The EME levels shown on TABLE II are composite levels generated from the aforementioned ship classes. For additional information on the assumptions used to derive the EME levels on U.S. Navy ships, see MIL-HDBK-235-2. For Coast Guard (USCG), Military Sealift Command (MSC), and Army ships, additional guidance can be found in MIL-HDBK-235-9. Submarine external RF EME is not included as a stand-alone table in MIL-STD-464. The MIL-STD- 461 RS103 field levels are
d as a stand-alone table in MIL-STD-464. The MIL-STD- 461 RS103 field levels are generally adequate for many installations. However, submarine sail- and mast-mounted equipment and sensors may experience fields in excess of the 200 V/m RS103 requirement from nearby equipment and antennas co-located on the sail or mast. Analysis should be performed for sail and mast mounted equipment and sensors to determine the field intensities incident on the equipment due to on-hull RF emitters. MIL-HDBK-235-10 can be used in determining the submarine’s RF emitters. TABLE III provides the maximum external EME levels for space and launch vehicle systems. The EME levels are maximum EME levels derived from the EME levels for space systems in a low orbit (i.e., 100 nautical mile (nm) altitude) and the compos
d to address the equipment-level indirect effects of lightning as outlined in the platform electromagnetic environments defined within MIL-STD-464, specifically Figure 2 and Table VII. Test method CS117 does not provide test coverage for either the Direct Effects or Nearby Lightning requirement from MIL-STD-464. However, for most equipment, testing with some combination of CS116 and CS115 may provide sufficient coverage to address the environment for nearby lightning called out in MIL-STD-464. This is because the changing electromagnetic fields primarily result in currents being induced on equipment cables. Equipment with antennas and receivers that respond to low frequency fields (for example AM radio band or ADF sensors) may require additional testing to satisfy MIL-STD-464, Nearby Light
-STD-464. 4.2 Radar equipment. Radar systems and equipment should also conform to the provisions of section 5.3 of the NTIA Manual as specified in the contract and to MIL-STD-469. MIL-STD-469 should not be used for Air Force applications. In the event of conflict, the following descending order of precedence should prevail: NTIA Manual, MIL-STD-469 then MIL-STD-464. 4.3 Tests. Tests and test methods should be as specified in MIL-STD-464. For other than Air Force applications, MIL-STD-469 should also apply for radar equipment and systems. 5. Detail guidelines.

Time-averaging at these frequencies is required. (See 6.2.4.1.) 5.5.1.2 Field Strength Levels The external EME levels for HERO found in MIL-STD-464, establishes the HERO EME requirements. The standard describes two field strength categories, Unrestricted and Restricted. The Unrestricted levels in MIL-STD-464 apply for the S4 phases where personnel will not be present; that is, Transportation/Storage, Staged, Platform-loaded and Immediate Post-launch. It may be acceptable to conduct HERO testing at levels less than those indicated in MIL-STD- 464, provided certain conditions are met. (See extrapolation guidance in 7.6.1.
