This paper addresses the process by which the range safety of intercept tests are assessed. The methodology outlines procedures for consideration of the safety of space, airborne, and land fetures. A special emphasis is placed on the role of breakup models on the utility of the final result. Issues covered include determining hazards vs. avoidance zones, fragment propagation, the impact of breakup model fidelity or resulting simulations, and lethality limits for space/air/ground.
