1. SCOPE
1.1 w.This handbook contains guidance for the performance of a "survey" on armament and fire control subsystems integrated on an aircraft. A survey is the act of collecting information to determine the current state of the design with respect to established performance requirements. The survey will consist primarily of ground and flight tests. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the survey will be used to find needed improvements or problem areas that need resolution prior to commitment to the demonstration phase that verifies compliance with contract requirements. Surveys are normally conducted on new or major modifications to reduce program risk. At the discretion of the Government, surveys can be required for smaller armament and fire control modification programs. For purposes of this handbook, the terms "armament" and "weapon" are interchangeable.
