This article specifically addresses US armed forces military computers and their use. Essay date March 2012 MIL standards and specifications The Armed Forces have many numerical designations for computers or other equipment, to guide the military buyer s choice of appropriate technology for their application. For instance, Mil S 901D ref http www.chassis plans.com PDF MIL S 901D.pdf MIL Std 901D ref would indicate that the computer passed shock and vibration requirements of specific tests for Navy installation. Some of these tests are specific to application usage, such as barge explosion testing, which simulates a torpedo hit and subsequent high peak shock to a ship on which the computer is installed. 901D is divided into Grade A for Items which are essential to the safety and continued combat capability of the ship and Grade B for items whose operation is not essential to the safety and combat capability of the ship but which could become a hazard to personnel, to Grade A items, of the ship as a whole as a result of exposure to shock . In this way, a computer may have a rating of MIL Std 901D Grade A, which would tell a buyer which shock tests the computer survived, what level of shock resistance the unit has, and that this piece of equipment will continue to normally operate in the event of a specific shock level.
