Environmental Testing of Military Equipment

Laboratory environmental testing of military equipment covers test types, equipment requirements and parameter measurement. Tests should match the intended service environment. Typical items include low- and high-temperature operation and storage, damp heat, temperature change, mechanical shock, drop, vibration, salt fog, rain, low pressure, thermal shock, sand-and-dust and bump tests.

Overview

Environmental adaptability is a core quality characteristic of military products and is evaluated by laboratory tests and field qualification. Environmental testing supports development, manufacture and storage. Test sites should represent as many future operating environments as practical, while recognising that a range cannot fully reproduce real service conditions.
