This document is intended to be used as a guide for range users requiring a flight termination battery. It will provide the user with guidelines for incorporating technical and safety criteria necessary to describe a power source (battery) which will be compatible with the mission critical needs of a flight termination system (FTS). All batteries used to provide the electrical power for an FTS shall have a proven performance reliability of .999 at the 95 percent confidence level. Performance reliability shall be established through statistically based testing. The battery specification, as a minimum, shall include all of the applicable operational, mechanical, electrical, and environmental characteristics of the FTS. As a final product, any battery to be used with an FTS shall be from those units for which lot-acceptance data is in compliance with the specification and the data evaluation requirements of this document. A quality assurance program, such as MIL-Q-9858, must be invoked in the purchase document and placed in operation concurrent with the qualification program so as to allow its assessment prior to beginning production.
