MIL-PRF-46103E
4.4.5 Temperature. The composite armor shall be tested in accordance with
MIL-STD-810, Methods 501.3, 502.3, and 503.3 at the temperature range specified
in 3.5.2. The composite armor shall then meet the ballistic requirements in
3.4.1.
4.4.6 Acceleration. The composite armor shall be tested in accordance with
MIL-STD-810, Method 513.4 and meet the requirement specified in 3.5.3.
4.4.7 Fluid resistance. The composite armor shall be immersed in jet fuel in
accordance with MIL-PRF-5624, in a gas turbine engine lubricating oil primarily
used for aircraft engines, which has a nominal viscosity of 5 centiStokes at
100oC, made with neopentyl polyol ester base stock, and in water for a period of
twenty-four (24) hours each at 70o + 10oF (21o + 5oC). After thoroughly drying,
the composite armor shall then meet the ballistic requirements in 3.4.1.
4.4.8 Humidity. The composite armor shall be tested in accordance with
MIL-STD-810, Method 507.3 and meet the requirement specified in 3.5.5.
4.4.9 Adhesion of the spall cover. The sample for this test shall be made from
composite armor which has been tested ballistically using an undamaged area, or
a small test specimen made identically to the composite armor with respect to
surface preparation, adhesion, application and bonding. Make parallel cuts
through the spall cover 4 in. (102 mm) long and 1 in. (25 mm) apart. At one end
of the cut, make a cut at a right angle so that a 1 in. x 2 in. (25 mm x 51 mm)
tab can be peeled from the sample. Attach a 2 lb (0.9 kg) weight to this tab so
that the resultant peel force is normal to the plane of the sample. Make gage
marks on the sample for the measurement of the amount of peeling during the
test. Allow the weight to stand for four (4) hours minimum at room temperature.
Any visual peeling of the tab constitutes failure of the test.
4.4.10
Identification marking. Verify the presence of the required markings.

PACKAGING
5.l Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as
specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel
is to be performed by DoD personnel, these personnel need to contact the
responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements.
Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging
activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the
Military Department's System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from
the managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging
files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.

NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may
be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The lightweight composite armor covered by this specification
is military unique because it is used in applications such as military personnel
body armor, aircraft armor, and applique armor for tactical shelters and light
vehicles when resistance to armor piercing projectiles and limited multi-hit
capability are required.
