HERO Test – Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance

The HERO (Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance) test is a critical assessment performed to determine the effects of electromagnetic radiation on military ordnance. It plays an essential role in demonstrating compliance with electromagnetic compatibility requirements for military equipment and in ensuring the safe handling, integration, and operation of ordnance in electromagnetic environments.

Purpose Objective

  • Determine the effects of electromagnetic radiation on military ordnance.
  • Ensure electromagnetic safety for ordnance and related military systems.

Test Scope Scope

  • Exposure scenarios under representative electromagnetic field conditions.
  • Assessment of initiation susceptibility and associated safety risks for ordnance.

Technical Implementation Process

  • HERO testing is performed in accordance with the requirements of MIL-STD-464 and STANAG 4439.
  • Electromagnetic compatibility conditions are verified in a controlled laboratory environment.

Application Areas Use Cases

  • Military ordnance and weapon systems.
  • Military platforms where electromagnetic compatibility is mission-critical.

At our TÜRKAK-accredited STEST facility in Ankara, HERO testing is performed under the scope of MIL-STD-464A / 464B / 464C, in compliance with TS EN ISO/IEC 17025.
