How to Use MIL-STD-210C to Determine Climatic Design Requirements

Abstract

MIL-STD-210C, 'Climatic Information to Determine Design and Test Requirements for Military Systems and Equipment' has been completed. Some noteworthy changes for this revision include the addition of regional climatic information, upper air profiles based on temperature and density extremes, and background information supporting and supplementing the data. Other presentations have been updated and have been reformated to facilitate using the standard. Perhaps the most noteworthy change is the new methodology for applying the data, which reflects current DoD acquisition policy on tailoring in the design and testing of materiel. This paper addresses the ramifications of these changes, and presents guidance on how the standard should be used to establish design and test requirements. Keywords: Military Standards; Climatic Data.
