1. Scope
The objective of this document is to centrally locate the general practices used by L3 GCS to interpret and apply the
testing outlined in MIL-STD-810G. Given the variability in application of the specification it has been determined that a
document outlining L3 GCS’s general practices would be beneficial to the division.
This document is not meant to be used for scheduling purposes related to MIL-810G testing. Many tests require
ramp up/down times as well as variable conditioning periods that may increase the overall length of the test beyond
what is mentioned herein.
2. Order of Precedence
In the event of a conflict between the text of this document and the references cited herein, the text of this
document takes precedence. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a
specific exemption has been obtained.
All MIL-STD-810G variables, processes and test specifics not mentioned herein are to be as stated in MIL-STD-810G.

3. Equipment
3.1. Equipment Orientation
For tests that require multiple orientations to be exposed, position the equipment as shown unless otherwise
directed. The front of the system is considered to be the front of the reflector.
Figure 1 - Default Equipment Orientations
3.2. Equipment Replacement/Refurbishment/Cleaning
Given the destructive nature of the tests it is permissible, and in some cases advisable, to clean up, replace, and
refurbish equipment between tests. Each test is designed to simulate a lifetime of abuse and can cause issues for
subsequent tests.

4. Standard Testing
4.1. MIL-STD-810 Test Confirmation
Prior to the start of each test it is required to verify the test parameters with the test technician performing the test.
Given the variability in tests through customer driven requirements there is potential for discrepancy in test times,
temperatures, and other variables that could either over or under expose the items going through the intended test. It is
also advisable to ensure the test facility(s) and assigned test technician(s) have a copy of this document with the current
revision as of the testing start date (unless a required change causes a revision to this document).
4.2. Standard Testing
As an L-3 GCS standard all equipment shall pass a pre-test and post–test (visual, operational, or both). If the
equipment is in an operating mode it shall also be tested (if required per the test) while operating as indicated in each
test’s section. The test plan is to be approved prior to starting MIL-810 testing. It is applicable to use a post-test as a
pre-test when equipment is moving between MIL-STD-810G tests.
4.2.1. Visual Test
A visual test involves inspecting exposed equipment, case functionality, and equipment packed in cases as
applicable. Special care should be taken to observe and take note of damage or any change in the condition of the item
undergoing test. If any damage/change to the test item poses a safety hazard to operational use, discontinue future
testing and contact the responsible party or project lead.
4.2.2. Operational Test
In addition to the visual test we require an operational test. The approved test plan will outline the required tests for
the item or system undergoing test.
4.2.3. Testing Issues/Non-conformance (Failure) Reporting
In the event of complications with equipment the person conducting the pre/post test should contact the Project
Engineer in charge of the system in attempts to work through any issues that they may be experiencing. Before
contacting the Project Engineer to verify non-compliance (failure) there should be no communication of non-
conformance to the facility conducting the test. It is very important to fully verify non-conformance prior to disclosure.
Once a failure has been reported it cannot be reversed and the test will need to be repeated.

4.3. Test Equipment Issues
Given the nature of L-3 GCS equipment setups there maybe components involved that are used to test the
equipment of interest. These other components shall be considered “test equipment” and are not part of the equipment
of interest undergoing test. In the event of an issue testing the equipment of interest due to a test equipment problem
or failure, all steps should be taken in attempts to continue the test and to prove out the equipment of interest per the
test plan. These steps usually involve other methods to communicate to or operate the equipment of interest that are
different from the initial test plan. Past issues have arisen from aged test equipment components that have passed
through MIL-STD-810G before that eventually fail.

5.4. 505.5 Solar Radiation (Sunshine)
5.4.1. Procedure I – Cycling
This test is designed to simulate high temperature scenarios during exposure to solar radiation.
Although our systems are often deployed in areas of high solar radiation it has been determined that the worst
case temperatures will be observed in an as-packed configuration (i.e. case on tarmac). Temperature probe(s)
are to be placed in the center most position in the case that’s accessible with-out modification to the case or
equipment. Unless otherwise specified the default L-3 GCS test scenario is as follows:
Test Duration: Minimum of 3-7 cycles (1 cycle = 24 hours) until repeated peak
temperatures are reached (measured via probe(s))
Equipment Configuration: Packed in transit case(s)
Climatic Conditions: Worldwide Deployment (Cycle A1: peak loads of 1120 W/m2 and 49 C,
not concurrently)
Air Flow: 1.5 to 3.0 m/s (300 to 600 ft/min) across the test item(s)
Required Testing: 1. Pre-test visual and operational
2. Post-test visual1 and operational
Operational Testing: Given the specific nature and interpretation required, operational solar
tests should be configured for each project independently.
1 Make note of any changes to any item either internal or external (ex. deterioration of foam). Use the operational test to evaluate pass/fail criteria.

5.5. 506.5 Rain
5.5.1. Procedure I – Rain & Blowing Rain
This test is designed to measure the effectiveness of our equipment in preventing the penetration of
water that negatively impacts the performance of our equipment (i.e. operation in precipitation). Unless
otherwise specified the default L-3 GCS test scenario is as follows:
Test Duration: 30 minutes per exposed face
Equipment Configuration: Setup for operation2 (deployed) and not running
Orientation: See Figure 1 - Default Equipment Orientation
Rainfall Rate: 1.7 mm/min (4 in/hr)
Wind Velocity: 18 m/s (40 mph)
Temperature: 25°C (77°F)
Required Testing: 1. Pre-test visual and operational (deployed in chamber)
2. Post-test visual and operational (deployed in chamber)
Transit Case Provision: It is required to test transit cases that have not yet gone through 506.5
Rain Procedure I – Rain & Blowing Rain during prior testing. The
objective of this test is to ensure the transit case and, if applicable,
internal equipment remains operational (i.e. no harmful deposit or
corrosion and the handles/wheels function as intended). The process
outline above remains the same however there are two scenarios
detailed below that are to be defined for each case:
Scenario A – Water ingress acceptable
Scenario B – Water ingress not-acceptable
2 If the test facility chamber is not big enough to have the test item deployed it is acceptable to test each major sub component individually.

5.6. 507.5 Humidity
5.6.1. Procedure II – Aggravated
This test is designed to simulate the effects of a warm and humid environment (i.e. tropical operation).
This test does not simulate a naturally environment and is meant only as a way to accelerate the effects of
humidity. Given the 60 C temperature during the cycle equipment is set only to run during the operational tests
mentioned blow. It is not advisable to conduct humidity testing on equipment that has passed through or will
pass through salt fog, sand, and dust testing. If the operational check requires handling the chamber door can be
opened for up to 30 minutes. Unless otherwise specified the default L-3 GCS test scenario is as follows:
Test Duration: 10 cycles following 1 conditioning cycle (1 cycle = 24 hours)
Equipment Configuration: Setup for operation (deployed), only running to conduct tests
Temperature: Varies between 30-60°C (86-140°F)
Relative Humidity: Constant 95% (following conditioning cycle)
Required Testing: 1. Pre-test visual and operational
2. At the end of the 5th cycle conduct an operational test
3. At the end of the 10th cycle conduct an operational test
4. Post-test visual and operational
Transit Case Provision: It is required to test transit cases that have not yet gone through 507.5
Humidity Procedure II – Aggravated during prior testing. The objective
of this test is to ensure the transit case and, if applicable, internal
equipment remains operational (i.e. no harmful deposit or corrosion
and the handles/wheels function as intended). The process outline

5.7. 509.5 Salt Fog
This test is designed to measure the effectiveness of protective coatings and finished on our equipment
and the effects of salt deposits that negatively impacts the performance of our equipment (i.e. operation in
maritime). Unless otherwise specified the default L-3 GCS test scenario is as follows:
Test Duration: 24-hour exposure, 24-hour dry, 24-hour exposure, 24-hour dry
Equipment Configuration: Setup for operation3 (deployed) and not running
Temperature: 35 ± 2°C (95 ± 4°F)
Required Testing: 1. Pre-test visual and operational (deployed in chamber)
2. Post-test visual and operational (deployed in chamber)
Rust/Corrosion: Rust is okay as long as it does not affect performance or function. An
action should be taken to record the affected areas.
Transit Case Provision: It is required to test transit cases that have not yet gone through 509.5
Salt Fog during prior testing. The objective of this test is to ensure the
transit case and, if applicable, internal equipment remains operational
(i.e. no harmful deposit or corrosion and the handles/wheels function as
intended). The process outline above remains the same however there

5.8. 510.5 Sand & Dust
5.8.1. Procedure I – Blowing Dust
This test is designed to measure the effectiveness of our equipment to resist the effects of dust that
negatively impacts the performance of our equipment (i.e. long durations of operation). Unless otherwise
specified the default L-3 GCS test scenario is as follows:
Test Duration: 6-hour ambient, 6-hour elevated
Equipment Configuration: Setup for operation4 (deployed) and not running
Temperature: 25-55°C (77-131°F)
Orientation: See Figure 1 - Default Equipment Orientation
Our default orientation requires all four sides (not the top or bottom) to
be directed at the oncoming flow. This test will split up the each 6 hour
test (ambient and high temperature) into 4, 1.5 hour tests on each face
indicated, unless otherwise indicated.
Required Testing: 1. Pre-test visual and operational (deployed in chamber)
2. Post-test visual and operational (deployed in chamber) (brushing,
shaking or wiping away of dust is acceptable)
Transit Case Provision: It is required to test transit cases that have not yet gone through 510.5
Sand & Dust Procedure I – Blowing Dust during prior testing. The
objective of this test is to ensure the transit case and, if applicable,
internal equipment remains operational (i.e. no harmful deposit or
corrosion and the handles/wheels function as intended). The process
outline above remains the same however there are two scenarios
detailed below that are to be defined for each case:
Scenario A – Dust ingress acceptable
Scenario B – Dust ingress not-acceptable
4 If the test facility chamber is not big enough to have the test item deployed it is acceptable to test each major sub component individually.
