This Standard is intended to organize and standardize the approach within the materiel acquisition process for considering how environmental stresses affect materiel design, test, and evaluation of materiel developed to perform combat and support missions in environments unique to military operational environments. It emphasizes developing materiel to withstand the stresses it is intended to see during its life cycle, and testing such materiel accordingly. The intended result is to eliminate over- and under-designed/tested materiel with respect to environmental stresses; to ensure environmental considerations are addressed systematically; to ensure test plans are tailored realistically as well as thoroughly; to ensure test execution adheres to tailored test plans, and to ensure test reports are complete and meaningful.
