2、the Department of Defense.1. SCOPE1.1 *. This specification covers the general requirements for design andestablishes uniform methods for testing cartridge actuated devices, (CADS). Guns,rockets, rocket catapults, ballistic hose/tubing, and stores separation equipmentare not covered by this specific
3、ation. For purposes of this specification, theterm cartridge actuated device includes any device which provides the means ofreleasing potential cartridge energy or harnessing this energy to accomplishwork. Linear shaped charge, explosive energy transfer lines, and “sealed-in”cartridge actuated devic
4、es (see 6.4.1) fall within the scope of MIL-O-21625.However, devices of the “sealed-in” type are also required to meet the safety andstructural design requirements of this specification as specified In 3.6.3. Thepurpose of the testing program is to determine performance, safety, soundness ofmechanic
5、al design, and resistance to environments encountered during storage,handling, and service use. Cartridge actuated devices are safe for handling anddo not deteriorate to a degree which wouid render their performance or safetydoubtful after being subjected to the testing programs of this specificatio
