4.4 Materials/Equipment Limitations and/or Restrictions

4.4.1 Battery Restrictions: Per MIL-PRF-28800, Lithium and Mercury batteries are prohibited without prior authorization.

4.4.1.1 Exception: Per Naval Ordnance Safety and Security Activity (NOSSA), the use of

Lithium primary (non-rechargeable) coin cell batteries meeting the following criteria is authorized for Naval personnel and on Naval activities, surface ships, submarines, and aircraft:

a. Unmodified, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) item;

b. Used in single-cell configuration;

c. Maximum nominal output of 3 Volts;

d. Maximum rated capacity of 1 Amp-hour (Ah).

4.4.1.2 Exception: Per Naval Ordnance Safety and Security Activity (NOSSA), the use of lithium ion rechargeable (secondary) batteries meeting the following criteria is authorized for Naval personnel and on Naval activities, surface ships, submarines, and aircraft:

a. Unmodified, COTS battery;

b. Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) listed (certified);

c. Used in the device as recommended by the manufacturer;

d. Recharged only by expressly designed for recharge of the specific battery in use;

e. No more than four cells in series (less than or equal to 18-Volt output;

f. Rated for no more than 100 Watt-hours, as listed in the manufacturer’s specification or calculated by multiplying the capacity in Ah by the maximum working (nominal performance) voltage.

4.5 Interface Requirements Unless specified, Wireless technology interfaces will be disabled.

4.6 Maintenance and Technical Documentation The equipment shall be categorized as

“repairable” to level 2. The maintenance philosophy for equipment that is categorized as “level 2” only (per MIL-PRF-28800F) shall require maintenance fault isolation to the module level of the unit.

1) shall be provided separately

Maintenance information shall include:

• Parts lists to the component level,

• Schematics and component layout drawings,

• Block and schematic diagrams.

• List of required test equipment and connection diagrams, and sequential instructions for disassembly, repair, replacement, and reassembly

• Board level maintenance and troubleshooting information,

• Step-by-step instructions for troubleshooting and fault isolation,

• Expected signal levels,

• Test data sheets will be included, and as required,

• The instructions will define localizing a defective circuit card.

Parts lists shall include:

• Parts lists shall be shown on illustrations or a separate listing that includes an index or reference to other illustrations

• Part number, CAGE code, and generic description

The technical manual shall be provided in both printed and electronic formats. The printed format shall be otherwise normally provided. The electronic format shall be in Portable Document Format (PDF) - ISO 32000-1:2008.
