The camera looks directly into
the HUD-combining glasses and accurately records the HUD symbology
and outside world, permitting accurate recording of precisely what
the “pilot sees” with no boresighting errors. |

Vibration (non-gunfire) random/sine low frequency region V-FF-3.
Perform vibration. Equipment was operating and monitored during testing. ● Vibration (gunfire) sine test schedule (total time each axis – 150 min) ● Vibration (gunfire) sine test levels. Perform sine vibration. Total time in each axis was 150 minutes. ● Vibration (non-gunfire) random test levels. Perform endurance levels 120 minutes each axis. Equipment was operating and monitored during testing. ● Service shock (longitudinal, vertical and lateral). Perform 6 total shocks, 3 in each direction for each test. Figure 4-3.2: Service shock test requirements / Shock response spectrum region S-FF-2. ● Crash safety (Perform crash safety per Fig 4-5). Crash test requirements / All shock regions. ● Thermal non-operating thermal cycling: -57°C. Dwell for a period of 2 hrs. Raise the temperature to +125°C and dwell for 16 hrs. ● Operating thermal cycling: -40°C. Dwell for a period of 2 hrs. Raise the temperature to +71°C and dwell for 16 hrs. Raise the chamber temperature to +85°C and dwell for 30 minutes. ● Thermal shock: Perform thermal shock per MIL-STD-810C Method 503.1. Three thermal cycles from +71°C to –57°C with a 5 minute maximum transfer time and a 4 hr dwell at each temperature plateau. ● Altitude: Normal operating – test per MIL-STD-810F, Procedure 2. Reduce pressure at a rate not to exceed 2,000 Ft/min to an altitude of 50,000 ft. Dwell for a period of 1 hr. ● Explosive decompression: Test per MIL-STD-810F, Procedure 4. Reduce chamber pressure to 2,437 m (8,000 ft), then in <0.1 seconds reduce pressure to an altitude of 12,192 m (40,000 ft). Maintain this pressure for 10 minutes. ● Salt and fog: Test per MIL-STD-810F, Method 509.4. Perform 2 cycles of Salt fog of 24 hrs and 24 hrs drying per cycle. ● Explosive atmosphere: Test per MIL-STD-810F, Method 511.4, Procedure 1 (operation in explosive atmosphere). * Based on similarity to tests conducted on F/A-18/C/D/E/F |
