 1.  GENERAL.  This enclosure establishes requirements and procedures for implementing the DoD E3 Program by DoD Components and their program managers (PMs) and material developers (MATDEVs). 2.  E3 IN ACQUISITIONS.  Military platforms, systems, subsystems, and equipment will be designed for EMC and evaluated to verify, by test, analysis, or modeling and simulation as appropriate, that the desired performance requirements will be met when subjected to the EMOE.
Military platforms, systems, subsystems, and equipment will be compatible in their intended EME without causing or suffering unacceptable mission degradation due to E3, and will comply with applicable EM spectrum requirements.

a.  Requirements to control E3 will be identified and documented during the JCIDS
requirements generation process and implemented throughout the Defense Acquisition System (DAS) established by DoDD 5000.01 (Reference (l)) and implemented by DoDI 5000.02
(Reference (m)) to ensure mutual compatibility with the EMOE.  The linkage between the acquisition process and the required E3 tasks is shown in Table 1.

b.  The potential mission degradation from co-located systems, subsystems, and equipment in the EMOE will be determined and minimized.  DoD Components will direct their PMs and MATDEVs to:

(1)  Implement the E3 control guidance criteria from CJCS Instructions 6212.01F and
3170.01H, and DoDI 8330.01 (References (n), (o), and (p)) into the analysis of alternatives, ICD, CDD, CPD, AS, TEMP, and ISP, as applicable.  DoD acquisition process E3 and spectrum supportability guidance is provided in Military Handbook (MIL-HDBK)-237D (Reference (q)).



(2)  Determine the intended EME in which military platforms, systems, subsystems, and equipment will operate.  Guidance for determining the EME can be found in References (h), (i), and MIL-HDBK-235-1C (Reference (r)) including its supplemental parts.

c.  The EME includes intentional and unintentional EMR from DoD systems, as well as contributions from civil and foreign systems.  Specific mission-oriented EME profiles are comprised of a combination of measured and calculated data provided in Reference (r) and its supplemental parts.  To further refine and tailor these EMEs, PMs and MATDEVs will:

(1)  Identify the mission scenarios in which the system or equipment is targeted and the associated platforms and systems supporting the missions.


(2)  Determine the major geographic regions and countries in which the platform, system, or equipment including ordnance is expected to operate.

The DoD Components will provide E3 training to DoD civilian program management and systems engineering personnel and to military personnel assigned to acquisition, communications, weapon systems, electronics technician, operational, and maintenance billets.

## Enclosure 5 Criteria For Operation At Designated Dod Sites

 1.  GENERAL.  This enclosure provides criteria for the installation and operation of systems and equipment in the vicinity of designated sites.  Information on designated sites can be obtained from the Director, DSO.  The limit curve in Figure 1, developed and validated by DIRNSA/CHCSS, is based on measurements conducted at designated sites.



k = kilo

m = meter

M = mega
dB = decibel

Hz = hertz

 = micro

V = volt

 2.  UNINTENTIONAL EMISSION LIMITS.  Unintended radiated electric field emissions from systems and equipment installed and operated near designated sites will be at or below the electric field noise limit shown in Figure 1 at the receiver antenna(s) at the designated sites. Compliance will be verified by measured data when the system and equipment in the vicinity of the designated sites are operated in normal operating modes.  No specific test distance is implied or intended for Figure 1. 3.  SEPARATION DISTANCES
a.  Reference (h) contains EMI requirements (and test procedures) which, if met, will reduce the potential for EMI.  For military subsystems and equipment intended for installation or operation near designated DoD sites, compatibility with the sites will occur when radiated electric field emissions meet the applicable radiated emissions requirements in Reference (h) and the adequate separation distance using acceptable far-field radiated signal attenuation equations is determined to be at or below the electric field noise limits in Figure 1.  In this case, it has been calculated that the equipment must be installed or operated at least 430 meters from the designated site.

b.  For equipment meeting commercial or international EMI standards, the minimum distance between the EM source and the designated site must be determined.  This is done by using acceptable far-field radiated signal attenuation equations to identify how far the potential EMI
source has to be from the designated site to meet the electric field noise limit in Figure 1. Assistance for determining minimum distances can be obtained from the Director, DSO.

c.  When these minimum distances are not possible and systems and equipment are operated closer to the designated sites, the unintentional radiated emissions will be controlled to acceptable levels by using shielding techniques, filtering, and other appropriate EMI control design measures.  The actual controls that are necessary are based on transfer functions for coupling EM energy between the locations of the offending EMI devices and the designated sites.  Antenna-to-antenna EMI interactions can be addressed by spectrum control measures at the operational level.

4.  REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF INSTALLATION.  The DoD Components will request approval for installation of systems and equipment that will be installed closer than 1.6 kilometers from designated sites, regardless of whether the system or equipment meets any EMI standard.  Requests for approval of installation must include EMI mitigation techniques that will be employed to reduce the impact to the designated sites.  An example letter is provided in Figure 2.

## Enclosure 6 Procedures For Controlling Emr Hazards

 1.  GENERAL.  The DoD Components will design, produce, and operate military platforms, systems, subsystems, and equipment to address EMR hazards (i.e., HERP, HERF, and HERO) during their expected life cycles.  This enclosure provides criteria for controlling these potential EMR hazards. 2.  HERP.  DoDI 6055.11 (Reference (t)) and Reference (h) provide criteria for the protection of personnel against the potentially hazardous effects of EMR.  The DoD Components will verify compliance with the applicable requirements by test, analysis, and inspection.  Guidance for conducting HERP evaluations can be found in Reference (i). 3.  HERF.  Precautions will be taken to prevent fuels and volatile materials from inadvertent ignition by radiated EMEs.  Reference (h) provides the criteria for the protection of fuels against the potentially hazardous effects of EMR.  The criterion in Reference (h) includes EME levels from onboard emitters and external sources.  The DoD Components will verify compliance with the applicable requirements by test, analysis, and inspection.  Guidance for conducting HERF evaluations is in Reference (h). 4.  HERO.  The DoD Components will design ordnance and associated systems to address inadvertent ignition and to perform safely and effectively during and after exposure to the EMOE.

a.  Instrumented HERO testing will be conducted to determine if exposure of an electrically initiated device (EID) to specified EME levels will result in unintentional activation of the ordnance that can have either safety or reliability consequences.  Reliability consequences (e.g., failure of ordnance to function after being initiated) can also occur through repeated radio frequency (RF) heating of an EID.

b.  The general approach for HERO testing is to expose inert, instrumented ordnance to a controlled test EME and to monitor each EID contained within the ordnance for a possible response.  HERO requirements including the EME levels are specified in Reference (h).
Guidance for conducting HERO tests can be found in MIL-HDBK-240A (Reference (u)).

c.  HERO testing will emphasize exposure of the ordnance to the EME levels that are associated with each stockpile-to-safe separation sequence phase of an ordnance item, as defined in Table 2.  Significant differences in the physical configuration of the ordnance item and its response to the EME can be expected as the item transitions from one phase to another.

## Part Ii.  Definitions



Unless otherwise noted, these terms and their definitions are for the purpose of this instruction.

E3.  The impact of the EME on the operational capability of military forces, equipment, systems, and platforms.  E3 encompasses the electromagnetic effects addressed by the disciplines of EMC, EMI, EM vulnerability, EM pulse, electronic protection, electrostatic discharge, and EMR hazards to personnel, ordnance, and fuels or volatile materials.  E3 includes the effects generated by all EME contributors including RF systems, ultra-wideband devices, high-power microwave systems, lightning, and precipitation static.  This term and its definition are proposed for modification in the next edition of Joint Publication 1-02 the DoD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms (Reference (v)). E3 control.  Mitigating the effects of the EME such that an operational mission is not degraded, capabilities are not significantly reduced, or system vulnerability is not increased.  This term and its definition are proposed for addition in the next edition of Reference (v).

EME.  Defined in Reference (v). EMOE  Defined in Reference (v).

EMP.  Defined in Reference (v). high-power microwave.  A threat that radiates high-peak power EM pulses intended to disrupt or damage electronic systems. SDS.  All electronic systems, subsystems, devices, and equipment that depend on the use of the spectrum to properly accomplish their function(s), regardless of how they were acquired (e.g., full acquisition, rapid acquisition, Joint Concept Technology Demonstration) or procured (e.g., commercial off-the-shelf, government off-the-shelf, non-developmental items).

SSRA.  Risk assessment performed by DoD Components for all SDS to identify regulatory, technical, operational spectrum, and E3 risks as early as possible and affect design and procurement decisions.  These risks are reviewed at acquisition milestones and are managed throughout the system's life cycle.
