2. Format. Contractor format is acceptable.

3. Content. The test procedures shall contain pre-shakedown test, shakedown test, operational tests, and an installation test documentation section.

Note: When the pre-shakedown, shakedown, and operational test information is contained in other approved publications or commercial data, the test procedures may reference the appropriate document by publication title and number and contains the required information related to the pertinent test step. If, however, the proposed reference does not contain all pertinent data related to the test step or if the data is contained only as a portion of the referenced test procedure, the complete test step shall be included in the test procedures.

3.1 Pre-shakedown Tests. This portion shall contain instructions for ensuring that the installation is properly completed. The pre-shakedown test will include the following:

a. Physical inspection to:

(1) Determine the completeness of the installation

(2) Check the condition of the equipment

(3) Verify the specified placement of the equipment

(4) Ensure that the installation meets required safety standards in accordance with

MIL-STD-882E

b. Mechanical and electrical preliminary measurements to verify the proper mounting of equipment and to confirm that adequately and stability of the voltage, frequency, and other characteristics of the primary power.

c. Preliminary C-E equipment adjustments made upon confirmation of compliance with the installation specification and before the shakedown and operational tests are run.

3.2 Shakedown Tests. This portion shall include instructions for determining whether the equipment meets the performance requirements of the AN/SPN-50(V)1 Systems

Requirements Document (System Specification) for Shipboard Air Traffic Radar

AN/SPN-50(V)1 dated 2 October 2015 in the installed environment, and to detect and eliminate marginal parts and material before the operational test. The required duration of the shakedown test should be stated. Data sheets will be prepared to record the results of the technical performance determined during the shakedown test period.

The data sheets include the name of the test performance specification, and observed indication. Additional general guidance follows:

a. The shakedown will consist of a preliminary test and running time for each electronic part of any equipment functioning under real or simulated operating conditions. The length of the shakedown test should be selected to assure the elimination of parts and material that are faulty and whose failure during the operational test could negate the test run.

b. The shakedown test need not be accomplished in a single continuous time period.

The only creditable time is when normal functioning voltage, current, temperature, stability, and other operational parameters are observed.

c. Final facility alignment and adjustments shall be accomplished during this period, and a record of all replaced parts should be made.

d. The technical performance of the installed equipment will be measured during this period to determine if they meet the Systems Requirements Document (System

Specification) for Shipboard Air Traffic Radar AN/SPN-50(V)1 dated 2 October 2015.

3.3 Operational Tests. This portion shall include instructions for performing the tests required to demonstrate that all equipment, computer programs, or facilities are properly installed and are capable of performing their operational mission up to the prescribed interfaces with other portions of the subsystem/system. A block diagram of the facility clearly defining signal waveforms, voltage levels, digital message formats, tolerance, etc., at all interfaces shall be provided. The types and purpose of tests which comprise the overall operational test -- such as group tests, equipment tests, basic facility tests, simulated tests, computer program tests (including site adaptation), live tests, flight tests, etc., should be described in sequential order.

Additional general guidance follows:

a. Operational tests are not to prove the design of the equipment.

b. Normally, the tests prescribed shall not require the utilization of any tools or test equipment not listed as part of Government furnished equipment (GFE) or contractor furnished equipment (CFE).

c. The requirement for flight and live tests shall be held to an absolute minimum.

d. A simulated environment may be used to verify the adequacy of the computer program installation.

e. The test duration, based on the length of time necessary to sufficiently demonstrate the installed capability, shall be stated.

f. Operational tests normally begin within 72 hours following the completion of the shakedown tests and run for a period of 24 hours.

g. Each channel of dual channel equipment shall be tested during the operational test.

h. For radiating equipment, each channel should be terminated on the antenna during an equal portion of the test period.

i. Operational tests on multi-frequency sets should be performed with the test time equally divided between a representative sampling of the preset channels.

j. At the completion of the operational test period, it was demonstrated that the technical performance determined during the test has not deteriorated below established system performance standards.

k. The maximum acceptable parts failure rate for each piece of equipment during the operational test shall be stated.

3.3.1 Operational Test Tables. Step-by-step procedures operational tests shall be provided in tabular form. Column contents should be as follows:

a. Step. This column of the table shall list the individual steps of the test procedures in numerical sequence.

b. Test Setup. This column of the table shall provide all information pertaining to switch and control settings of the facility, test equipment, and external C-E equipment, special inter-cabling and other data related to the implementation of the step, except the actions contained in the "Action" column.
