DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION
Title: RADIATION HAZARD CONTROL PROCEDURES (RHCP)
Preparing Activity: 24 (96 TW/SEU)
PROJECT Number: SAFT-2016-001
Use/Relationship:
The RHCP provides the data describing and defining radio frequency
(RF) power density and x-ray characteristics for ground
electronic systems, subsystems,
equipment, components, and end items.
a. This Data Item Description (DID) contains the format and content preparation instructions
for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in
the contract.
b.
This DID is applicable to all ground electronic systems, subsystems, equipment,
components, and end
items acquired by the Government. In addition, it is applicable to
airborne emitters which plan testing at Eglin test ranges.
Requirements:
1. Format. Contractor format is acceptable.
2. Content. The RHCP shall contain technical information describing and defining RF power
density and x-
ray characteristics for electronic systems. Where applicable, previously
furnished documentation shall
be referenced throughout the package. The RHCP shall
include the following information:
2.1 Preliminary data. This section shall contain information which will indicate the prediction
of RF power densities for personnel directly in front of, adjacent to, and behind the radiating
element of the end item and adjacent to any component of the end item which is suspected of
producing 0.01 watt/cm
2
under any conditions of operations and maintenance including
conditions wherein maintenance required visual inspe
ction with enclosures removed. This
section shall include a detailed list of the proposed measuring equipment.
2.1.1 Final data. This data shall be based on calculations or actual measurements of the end
item which will accurately define and illustrate areas wherein an RF power density is unsafe
for personnel. It shall describe the operating characteristics under which the information was
derived along with the operating parameters of the end item.
2.1.2 Baseline data. This data shall include the following information:
a. Nomenclature of emitter: AN/(number) or manufacturer and model number.
b. Data by which construction or modification is projected to start and scheduled data of
operation.
c. Maximum transmitter peak power (kilowatts).
d. Type of emission (pulse, CW, voice, etc.).
DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A. Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
