MIL-STD-810H: Training on Environmental Testing of Military Equipment | [Online/Live] [Global, EU CET Timezone] [250204G]

MIL-STD-810H, US Department Of Defence Test Method Standard Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests

GDS Engineering R&D, Inc. provides online international training on MIL-STD-810H Environmental qualification testing of military equipment. Training focuses on the standard with tailoring examples. This training is essential for testing and certifying your military equipment and products following MIL-STD-810H, platform test requirements, and other applicable standards and specifications. Tailoring is generally emphasized with examples in the presentation of test methods. Tailoring includes changing the test requirements based on CONOPS, LCEP, and Mission Criticality of the Item and using similar operational requirements.

Training Scope

• A good understanding of product testing in view of MIL-STD-810G/H and other relevant military standards.
• Overview of Systems Engineering, V&V, and Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) document.
• Establishment of Test Requirements and Test Plans.
• Test Procedures, Scheduling, Implementation, and Test Reports.
• Per MIL-STD-810, tests are covered in detail, including altitude, temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, acceleration, salt fog, explosive atmosphere, and all other test methods.
• Test methods are detailed with purpose, applications, limitations, procedures, test parameters, and tailoring examples.
• We briefly cover some of the MIL-STD-810H test methods; however, we ensure that all questions are answered for each method.
• Cases studies, sample reports and discussions on issues.
• Design issues and test failure discussions.
• Risk management for test results and acceptance criteria.
• Design Recommendations.

Platform and equipment test examples are provided in each test method presentations and discussions, including:

• Military aircraft platforms (fixed and rotary wing), ground vehicles, and navy ships
• Avionics, electrical and mechanical systems, and structural project applications
• Test tailoring examples to include the selection of tests, parameter levels, and durations
  • Concepts of Operations (CONOPS) document and test curve establishment.
  • Tailoring and Life Cycle Environmental Profile (LCEP)
  • Mission Profile

About the Instructors

The main instructor of the training is Dr Ismail Cicek. He gained engineering and leadership experience by working for 15 years. He led the development of various platform engineering systems, including C-5, C-17, KC-10, KC-135, and C-130 E/H/J.  Dr. Cicek’s experience includes unmanned aerial vehicle development where he utilized the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Malfunction Data Recorder Analysis Recorder System (MADARS) development for military transport aircraft. An Avionics Chief Engineer (EE)and a Certified Verification Engineer (FAA/EASA) also assist with the training. Our experienced test personnel also become available for demonstrations and discussions. A Certified Verification Engineer (CVE) in FAA/EASA with 18 years of experience. He has worked as the chief engineer of avionics systems in product development. He is also experienced in product testing per environmental and EMI/EMC standards and FAA/EASA certification processes.

Relation with RTCA-DO-160G

• Training will compare MIL-STD-810H tests against the FAA/EASA certification test requirements covered in RTCA-DO-160. This helps a better understanding of the tailoring concepts in MIL-810H.
• For example, Fire Flammability will be covered in detail in this training.
• Differences in some test procedures, for example, Altitude, Temperature, Water Proofness / Rain / Immersion, Humidity, Contamination by Fluids, Vibrations, Shock and Crash Accelerations, Icing Freezing, and Salt Fog, will be explained with rationale.
• Demonstrating the differences between DO160 and 810 is a great way of understanding the tailoring process iaw MIL-STD-810H.

Dr Cicek worked as the Principle Investigator and became a Subject Matter Expert (SME) at the US Air Force Aeromedical Test Lab (WPAFB/OH) for certifying the products to the US Air Force Platform Requirements. He also developed Joint Enroute Care Equipment Test Standard (JECETS) in close work with US Army Test Lab engineers and managers.

Relation with Industrial and Other Military Standards

• In some cases, more than MIL-STD-810H tests may be needed, especially when additional specific material requirements are concerned.
• Training covers a test standards session, during which examples from other military and industrial standards are explained briefly. This session explains the rationale for choosing MIL-STD-810 test methods or other military/industrial standards.
• For example, military or DO-60 Salt Fog test versus ASTM corrosion tests are explained with when and why you may need other tests.
• Test plans usually include EMI/EMC test procedures. Training will provide a short session with a general overview of the MIL-STD-461 testing and how to select procedures for your equipment and platform.
