MIL-PRF-46103E
4.2.1 First article inspection. When required (see 3.1), the first article
sample shall be examined for compliance with the requirements and verifications
listed in table I. All samples shall be produced with materials and processes
proposed for use on production composite armor. Inspection shall be carried out
by the contractor under Government surveillance, when specified (see 6.2).
4.2.2 Conformance inspection. Conformance inspection for acceptance of
production composite armor shall be conducted on a recurring basis and include
the examinations and tests listed in table I.

4.2.3 Lot formation. An inspection lot shall consist of all the composite armor
of one type and part number, from an identifiable production period, from one
manufacturer, submitted at one time for acceptance.
4.2.4 Initial production lot. The number of random samples selected for
inspection, from each initial production lot of components, shall be defined by
the procuring activity (see 6.2).
4.2.5 Production lots after initial lot. The number of random samples selected
for inspection, from each production lot of components after the initial lot,
shall be defined by the procuring activity (see 6.2).
4.2.6 Acceptance and rejection. The selected armor samples shall meet the
requirements in table I for the represented lot to be acceptable. Failure of any
test samples to meet the requirements in table I shall constitute rejection of
the entire lot which they represent. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), the
ballistic tests shall be conducted and the test results accepted prior to
shipment of the lot of armor represented by the test samples.
4.3 Visual inspection. Visual inspection shall be used to verify the method of
construction. Visual inspection shall also be used to verify that no unbounded
areas exist for all structural interfaces.
4.4
Operating requirements verification.
4.4.1 V50 ballistic limit protection. The ballistic resistance test shall be
conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-662. The contractor shall supply two test
samples for each three months of composite armor fabrication for ballistic
acceptance testing at a Government approved facility to show conformance to the
ballistic requirements in 3.4.1. The test samples shall be adequately identified
