Flight tests
3.5.1
Purpose. The purpose of the flight test program shall be to demon-
strate functional capability of the airborne vehicle to meet detail specifi-
cations under varying flight and environmental conditions. The flight test
program shall demonstrate flight reliability, controllability and operational
compatibility with Range Command control and telemetry facilities and other
government furnished equipment. These tests shall continue until the required
number of systems are tested. It shall be the prerogative of the Government
to terminate these tests prior to their completion if the data obtained from
the initial flights indicates that conducting the remainder of the tests would
not be in the Governments interest.
Test articles. One group of missiles or targets will be allocated
3.5.2
to these tests are launching. The individual serial numbers of these missiles
or targets shall be forwarded to NAVAIR. Missiles or targets shall be launched
under test conditions specified in the demonstration plan approved by NAVAIR to
show compliance with the detail specification.
3.5.3
Testing procedures. The preflight checkout procedures used shall be
similar to those satisfactorily demonstrated under the ground test phase of
the demonstration and shall be limited in extent to what the contractor proposes
to be performed on missiles or targets in the Government evaluation. Deviations
in the preflight checkout procedures shall be allowed only after prior apptoval
by the GTA and NAVAIR.
Captive flight. Demonstrate that the target or missile, properly
3.5.4
attached to the launcher on the specified launch aircraft, can be carried under
all catapult launch, flight, and arrested landing conditions within the opera-
tional envelope of the aircraft, can be subjected to the aircraft carrier
launch and recovery environment and will function properly after being sub-
jected to this flight environment.
