MOTORS TECHNICAL MANUAL
D.1 SCOPE.
D.1.1 Scope. This appendix provides the special or unique criteria, in addition to the provisions of
this speciication, required for development of a static iring of missile motors Technical Manual (TM).
The markup tags described herein are based on rules outlined in MIL-HNDBK-28001 and ISO 8879.
The information contained in and referred to in this appendix forms a part of the standard and is

D.3 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS.
D.3.1 Static iring of missile motors manua. This manual shall provide procedures for the static iring
of missile motors. The manual shall include procedures for transportation of missile motors from the
storage facility/Depot Maintenance Facility (DMF) to the test site, roll transfer into and out of the
radiographic and other buildings, inspections required throughout the receipt to the test pad area, post
iring inspections and dissection. The manual shall also provide procedures for the static iring of the
motor, calibration of instrumentation, connection of motor instrumentation to the land lines, data collection,
handling, reduction and analysis, and the inal report format. The manual shall provide sequentially all
operations and procedures required, from the time the rocket motors are removed from, and returned to
the operational inventory (DMF)/motor surveillance storage facilities (R&D). The handling inspection, and
post iring inspection completion (except static iring) and reduction shall also be included. Also, the
instructions shall be prepared in a manner to include two types of motors:
a. Research and development surveillance.
b. Operational inventory surveillance.
D.3.1.1 General safety requirements.
The following statement shall be included in the safety summary of
each WP:
"The safety requirements and precautions set forth in AFI 91-201 shall be complied with by
munitions personnel during static iring operations. All personnel engaged directly, as well as
indirectly, in operations in which munitions, explosives, and other hazardous materials are involved
should be thoroughly trained in explosive safety and capable of recognizing hazardous explosive
exposures. Thinking safety and working safely must become a irmly established habit when
working with or in the vicinity of items capable of exhibiting a hazard due to the nature of their
explosive, lammable, or toxic illers. The absence of a safety requirement in this manual or in
AFMAN 91-201 does not necessarily indicate that no safeguards are needed. A safety precaution is
included in procedures where it is required. If immediately dangerous munitions are encountered, all
operations in the immediate vicinity shall be shut down, personnel evacuated to a safe location,
and EOD or other authorized personnel called to render assistance in elimination of the hazard.
Operations shall not be resumed until the hazard has been eliminated."
D.3.1.2 Handling, transportation, and inspection WP. Procedures shall be provided to remove the rocket
motor from storage facilities, horizontal/vertical and DMF, and prepare and instrument rocket motor for
road test, vibration test, and board course test. These instructions shall also cover the preparation and
loading instructions for transportation, including unloading from transporter and all inspection (including
nondestructive inspection) required to determine pre-iring posture. The information shall be brief but
factual, giving step-by-step procedures.
