MIL-STD-1399 -302A

Abstract

This section is an integral part of MIL-STD-1399. When the interface between the weather environment and ship/systems/equipment is under consideration this section and the standard must be viewed as a single document. The procedures established by MIL-STD-1399 are mandatory. <br>This section establishes interface requirements for shipboard systems/equipment which are exposed to or affected by the weather to ensure compatibility between such systems/equipment and the weather environment. <br>The interface which is the concern of this section and the basic characteristic and constraint categories involved at this interface are shown symbolically on <a href="#SUZPDAAAAAAAAAAA-X7">figure 1</a> (see "Definitions" of MIL-STD-1399): <a name="SUZPDAAAAAAAAAAA-X7" id="SUZPDAAAAAAAAAAA-X7"><img alt="FIGURE 1. Interface." /></a> <br>The particular interface characteristics and constraints pertinent to this section are described in 5.2 and 5.3. <br>This section applies to the weather environment (see <a>3.1</a>) as it relates to the design of ships/systems/equipment. It does not apply to the concomitant effects of ship motion and attitude or to wave impact and boarding seas.
