MIL-STD-2071A(AS)
4.6 Acceptance criteria. Acceptance criteria shall be as specified in section E of the contract, or as specified in the associated specification. Acceptance criteria shall include performance requirements for individual chaff units or for continuous chaff as applicable. For individual chaff units, acceptance criteria shall be the average RCS for the frequency spectrum required during the time the chaff is in a specified radar resolution cell or cells in terms of position with respect to the deploying aircraft. Acceptance criteria for continuous chaff shall be as above, except that homogeneity of the chaff trail shall form a part of the acceptance criteria. Usually the position of the radar resolution cell used for acceptance measurements will be two seconds behind the dispensing aircraft; however, for break lock chaff, measurements shall be made closer to the aircraft with respect to time.
5. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Test method. The test method given in the appendix of this standard shall be used for measuring the RCS of preproduction, initial production, and production samples of airborne chaff payloads.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature which may be helpful but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Chaff is military unique because it is used as an airborne expendable countermeasure to protect military aircraft from radio frequency threats. This standard is intended to provide a uniform test procedure to be followed in making RCS measurements of preproduction, initial production, and production lot chaff samples to ensure satisfactory performance of procured chaff when deployed for self-protection or saturation purposes in any combat or training operation.
6.2 Other applicable government document. The following other government document forms a part of this document to the extent specified herein. Unless otherwise specified, the issues are those cited in the solicitation.
