● The input connector to the camera utilizes the same connector type and the same pin function as the legacy camera. ● The body of the camera is the same size and utilizes the same mechanical mounting provisions used on the legacy camera. ● The GO indicator lamp is Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatible. ● The camera looks into the HUD-combining glasses and accurately records the HUD symbology and outside world, permitting accurate recording of “what the pilot saw.” ● The new camera has been flown by the US Navy and the following enhanced features were noted: ◊ Better color and higher resolution ◊ FOV extended coverage including recording of all the azimuth heading numerics and the complete roll angle information in the Navigation mode. ◊ Intended low-light level coverage including night recording ◊ Two Built-In Test (BIT) features

● Vibration (non-gunfire) random/sine low frequency region V-FF-3. Perform vibration. Equipment was operating and

monitored during testing.

● Vibration (gunfire) sine test schedule (total time each axis – 150 min)

● Vibration (gunfire) sine test levels. Perform sine vibration. Total time in each axis was 150 minutes.

● Vibration (non-gunfire) random test levels. Perform endurance levels 120 minutes each axis. Equipment was

operating and monitored during testing.

● Service shock (longitudinal, vertical and lateral). Perform 6 total shocks, 3 in each direction for each test.

Figure 4-3.2: Service shock test requirements / Shock response spectrum region S-FF-2.

● Crash safety (Perform crash safety per Fig 4-5). Crash test requirements / All shock regions.

● Thermal non-operating thermal cycling: -57°C. Dwell for a period of 2 hrs. Raise the temperature to +125°C and

dwell for 16 hrs.

● Operating thermal cycling: -40°C. Dwell for a period of 2 hrs. Raise the temperature to +71°C and dwell for 16 hrs.

Raise the chamber temperature to +85°C and dwell for 30 minutes.

● Thermal shock: Perform thermal shock per MIL-STD-810C Method 503.1. Three thermal cycles from +71°C to –57°C

with a 5 minute maximum transfer time and a 4 hr dwell at each temperature plateau.

● Altitude: Normal operating – test per MIL-STD-810F, Procedure 2. Reduce pressure at a rate not to exceed

2,000 Ft/min to an altitude of 50,000 ft. Dwell for a period of 1 hr.

● Explosive decompression: Test per MIL-STD-810F, Procedure 4. Reduce chamber pressure to 2,437 m (8,000 ft),

then in <0.1 seconds reduce pressure to an altitude of 12,192 m (40,000 ft). Maintain this pressure for 10 minutes.

● Salt and fog: Test per MIL-STD-810F, Method 509.4. Perform 2 cycles of Salt fog of 24 hrs and 24 hrs drying per cycle.

● Explosive atmosphere: Test per MIL-STD-810F, Method 511.4, Procedure 1 (operation in explosive atmosphere).

● EMI: RE-102, CE-102, RS-103 including video during radiation.
