The Human Machine Interface
The MTS components are integrated with the tactical plate carrier
to maximize the user’s ability to interact with the system. In
addition, component placement is intended not to impede the
overall mobility of the soldier.

MTS Testing Methods And Procedures SPECIFICATION SHEET
Low Temperature Cold Boot
The MTS shall power on (boot) and operate normally after un-powered storage at -30C (operational) for no less than one hour prior to application of power. Use MIL-
STD-810G, Method 502.5, Procedure II as a guide. A boot delay of less than 10 minutes is acceptable to allow internal heating for temperatures below -10C.
Low Temperature Storage
The MTS shall operate normally following storage according to MIL-STD-810G, Method 502.5, Procedure I at -40C (non-operational).
High Temperature
The MTS shall operate per MIL-STD-810G, Method 501.5, Procedure I and Procedure II, +60C Operational, +75C Non-Operational (storage). [Battery charge suspended
above +60C cell temperature, MTS installed on tactical plate-carrier vest].
Immersion
The MTS shall meet Operational: MIL-STD-810G, Method 512.5, Procedure I (One meter of water, 30 minutes).
Altitude
The MTS shall meet Operational: MIL-STD-810G Method 500.5, Procedure II, 8,000 feet. Non-Operational (storage): Procedure I, 40,000 feet.
Drop Shock
The MTS, while installed on the tactical plate-carrier vest, shall operate normally during and after being subjected to five drops on the face and five drops on the back
(10 drops total) into 4” of gravel from a height equivalent to a 6’ person falling forward and backward while wearing the vest. Utilize MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6 as a
guideline. May be performed over two UUT samples; surface abrasion and cosmetic damage is acceptable.
Shock
The MTS shall meet Non-Operational: MIL-STD-810G, Method 516.6, Procedure I. 9 shocks in 3 axes at Te=11ms, 2g @ 10Hz, 30g @ 45Hz, 10g @ 1kHz.
Vibration
Workmanship. The MTS shall meet Operational: MIL-STD-810G, Method 514.6, Procedure I, Category 24, Figure 514.5C-17 (20-2000Hz random vibration profile, 0.04g2/
Hz @ 20-1000Hz, -6 dB/octave @ 1000-2000Hz), 3 hours in 3 axes.
Salt Fog
The MTS shall meet Non-operational: MIL-STD-810G, Method 509.5, two 48-hour cycles.
Humidity

Explosive Atmosphere
The MTS shall meet Operational: MIL-STD-810G, METHOD 511.5, Procedure I.
Dust
The test shall be conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-810G, Method 510.5, Procedure I. Test condition clarification note: Exposure of the MTS (TMC-A1 + UTD-A2 +
HUB-A3 + GPS-A4) according to MIL-STD-810G, Method 510.5, Procedure I for 3 hours operational at 23°C and an additional 3 hours non-operational at the high storage
temperature. This requirement ensures compliance with the dust-immunity portion of a typical IP-67 product.
Sand
Exposure of the MTS (TMC-A1 + UTD-A2 + HUB-A3 + GPS-A4) to MIL-STD-810G, Method 510.5, Procedure II for 3 hours operational at 23°C and an additional 3 hours
non-operational at the high storage temperature. Minor surface abrasion is considered acceptable and does not constitute a test failure.

SPECIFICATION SHEET
Conducted Emissions
The MTS shall be designed to comply with MIL-STD-461F CE102 from 10 kHz to 10 MHz for all power leads, including returns, which obtain power from other sources not
part of the EUT.
Conducted Susceptibility
The MTS shall be designed to comply with MIL-STD-461F CS101, from 30kHz to 150kHz for all power leads not including returns. Momentary degraded performance is
acceptable provided the system does not reset or require manual manipulation to restore proper operation.
The MTS shall be designed to comply with MIL-STD-461F CS114 from 10kHz to 200MHz for all interconnecting cables, including power cables. Momentary degraded
performance is acceptable provided the system does not reset or require manual manipulation to restore proper operation.
The MTS shall be designed to comply with MIL-STD-461F CS115, impulse excitation for all interconnecting cables, including power cables. Momentary degraded
performance is acceptable provided the system does not reset or require manual manipulation to restore proper operation.
The MTS shall be designed to comply with MIL-STD-461F CS116, damped sinusoid transients, 10kHz to 100MHz, for all interconnecting cables, including power cables,
and individual high side power leads. Momentary degraded performance is acceptible provided the system does not reset or require manual manipulation to restore
proper operation.
Radiated Emissions
The MTS shall be designed to comply with MIL-STD-461F RE102 Ground Mobile limits from 10 kHz to 4 GHz.
Radiated Susceptibility
The MTS shall be designed to comply with MIL-STD-461F RS103, for electric fields from 2 MHz to 40 GHz of 50V/m (Army Ground limit). Momentary degraded
performance is acceptible provided the system does not reset or require manual manipulation to restore proper operation.
