conditioning (signals only). An individual temperature-soaked launcher can be used to fire
signals in close sequence for a maximum of ten (10) minutes without being returned to the
temperature conditioning.
4.6.4.1.2 High temperature test. The signals and launchers that were conditioned as specified in
4.6.4.1 at 160 ±5° shall be fired as specified in 4.6.2.1 within 30 seconds after removal from
conditioning (signals only). An individual temperature-soaked launcher can be used to fire
signals in close sequence for a maximum of ten (10) minutes without being returned to the
temperature conditioning.
4.6.4.2 Salt spray (launcher) test. The launcher shall be subjected to salt spray for 50 hours with
a minimum salt concentration of 5 percent. Immediately following the 50 hour salt spray bath,
the launcher shall be rinsed in clean water and shall then fire a minimum of 7 consecutive signals
successfully as specified in 4.6.2.1 without failure and requiring any maintenance. Wiping off
visible salt residue with a cloth in the collet area is allowable.
4.6.4.3 Storage tests.
4.6.4.3.1 Extreme high temperature storage test. The signal shall be subjected to an extreme high
temperature storage test in an enclosed chamber that shall be maintained at 200 ±5°F for 14 days.
At the conclusion of this storage period, the signal shall be tested as specified in 4.6.2.1 after
allowing signal to return to ambient temperature.
4.6.4.3.2 High temperature storage test. The signal shall be subjected to a high temperature
storage test at 160 ±5°F for 28 days. At the conclusion of this storage period, the signal shall
then be tested as specified in 4.6.2.1 within 30 seconds of removal from the conditioning
chamber.
4.6.4.3.3 Low temperature storage test. The signal shall be subjected to a low temperature
storage test at -65 ±5°F for 28 days. At the conclusion of this storage period, the signal shall
then be tested as specified in 4.6.2.1 within 30 seconds of removal from the conditioning
chamber.
4.6.4.4 Vibration tests. The signal kit shall be vibrated at 10 to 60 Hz with an amplitude
maintained at 0.10 ±0.01 in. double amplitude up to and including 20 Hz, and at 2 ±0.2g peak for
the remaining frequency coverage to simulate transportation (see 6.4.5). After the completion of
the vibration test, the signal shall be immersed in 11 to 13 inches of water for 1 hour. The signal
shall then be tested as specified in 4.6.2.1.

PACKAGING
5.1
Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in
the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain
requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory
Control Point's packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within
