catastrophe through damage to equipmenL injury to personnel, or inadvertent operation of”critical
equipment.
4.6 Simplicity of desire The equipment shall represent the simplest design consistent with
functional requirements and expected service conditions. It shall be capable of beii operated,
maintained, and repakd in its operational environment by personnel with a minimum of training.
4.7 Interaction. The design of the system shall reflect the interaction requirements of crew
served equipment.
4.8 Safety. Design shall reflect applicable system and personnel safety factors, including
minim&@ potential iwmanerrorintheoperationand mainMMm
of tbe Sym prticldarly under
the conditions of al- battle stress, or other emergency or non-routine conditions.
4.9 Rumwirwss. Systems and equipment shall be sticiently rugged to withstand handling in
the field during operation, maintenance, supply, and transport within the environmental limits specified
for those conditions in the applicable hardware or system specification.
4,10 Design for NBC survivability. As applicable, equipment design sha!l be compatible with
NBC protection and shall permit performance of mission+ssential operations, communications,
maintenance. resupply artd d~ tasks by suitably clothed, trained, and acel~
personnel for the survival periods and NBC environments required by the system. Equipment design
shall also facilitate NBC hardness surveillance and shall minimize susceptibility to reduction of
inherent NBC hardness as a result of operator- or maintainer-induced errorsldamage, i.e.:
a. NBC hardness shall be eady verifiable by maintenance per-some] before and after
maintenance actions (hardness surveillance).
h. NBC hardness shali not bc degraded \vhcn rouunc (schcdulcd) and corrcctwc (unschcdulcd )
