MIL-S-23069A(AS)

3.3.3 Additional design considerations. As a minimum, the requirements for-

the safety of the missile shall provide for inherent design features for the

following:

Design considerations

Equipments or portions

of the missile -

for safety

Design protective covers during

Edges of aerodynamic

surfaces

transportation or handling

Include means of protection for

Pyrotechnic device

the actuating circuits

Batteries

Activation, rundown, etc.

Activation, venting, etc.

(Gas generators

Power, direction, activation

Radiating source

Surface

paint,

etc.

Fire protection.

Handling, carriage, launch

Structural adequacy

3.4 Missile electrical circuits. All electrical circuits which provide

energy to the igniter shall be designated as hazardous circuits. These

circuits shall be protected to prevent the generating of a premature ignition

signal.

3.4.1 Circuit marking. Hazardous circuits shall be distinctively marked, and

shall be designed and constructed to preclude them from becoming inadvertently

energized when energizing any other circuit within the weapon or external

thereto.

3.4.2 Protection for wiring. All sharp edges shall be removed. The edges of

electrical cable accesses shall be provided with internal fillets, or rubber,

fiber or plastic protection to preclude damaging the cable insulation and

shielding.

3.4.3 Cable harness or assembly. Preassembled cable assemblies shall be used

whenever possible, however, the number of such assemblies used must be kept to

a minimum. These assemblies shall utilize proper grounding, shielding or

separation in all electrical systems to minimize mutual interference. If

shielded wiring is required, it must have an insulated cover over the

shielding.

3.5 Electroexplosive devices (EEDs). For more detailed requirements, refer

to MIL-STD-1385(navy), "Preclusion of ordnance Hazards in Electromagnetic

Fields." For design considerations and guidance, NAVAIR AD 1115,

"Electromagnetic Compatibility Design Guide for Avionics and Related Ground .

Support Equipment," shall be used MIL-I-23659, "initiators, Electric,

General Design Specifications for," be used as applicable.
