- a. Platforms and personnel availability for acquiring data.
- b. Geographic locations available for data acquisition.
- c. Data acquisition instrumentation and analysis equipment available at test sites.
403.3 Operational Environment Documentation Report. The OEDP, along with the data resulting from its implementation, form the Operational Environment Documentation Report (OEDR).
MIL-STD-810H PART ONE ANNEX A
TASK 404
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES/CRITERIA LIST (EICL)
404.1 Purpose. This task, completed by one or more environmental engineering specialists (combat/materiel developer staff or contractor), provides a list of issues and criteria that cover the effects that various environments have on materiel performance and reliability. It includes design and test criteria and issues, and their supporting rationale and assumptions. This is one of three tasks (Task 402, 403, and 404) that make up the Environmental Test and Evaluation Master Plan (ETEMP). Critical issues and basic criteria may appear in the CONOPS, SRD, ICD, CDD and the CPD. Environmental design and test issues/criteria are derived from the LCEP and OED data.
404.2 Task description. For each environmental stress type or combination of stress types to be considered in materiel design/testing, include the following information, as a minimum, in the EICL. Note that design and test criteria may not be the same in all cases because some form of time compression, stress exaggeration, or other simplifying assumptions may be needed to perform tests, particularly laboratory tests, in a practical schedule with available facilities. However, test criteria must always be tailored realistically.
- a. Develop specific design and test criteria (including specific criterion values) and their associated critical issues. Include these issues and criteria in the EICL.
- b. Develop rationale and assumptions used to select the specific criteria, including the significance of the criteria with respect to materiel performance and durability, and including factors of conservatism. Include these in the EICL.
- c. Explain differences between design and test criteria, including test compression algorithms, fatigue acceleration models, and test facility limitations.
- d. Estimate expected degree of correlation between laboratory test results and anticipated service experiences.
