personnel responsible for the design, development, and
acquisition of DoD platforms, systems, subsystems, equipment, and
devices with the guidance necessary for achieving the desired
level of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This handbook
describes the tasks that should be accomplished to ensure
electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) control/EMC measures
are incorporated into the development and operational procedures
of an item to achieve the desired level of EMC during its life

MIL-HDBK-237C, ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND SPECTRUM CERTIFICATION GUIDANCE FOR THE ACQUISITION PROCESS. This handbook provides acquisition personnel responsible for the design, development, and procurement
of Department of Defense (DoD) platforms/systems and subsystems/equipment with the
guidance necessary for achieving the desired level of electromagnetic (EM) compatibility (EMC).
This handbook describes the tasks that should be accomplished to ensure electromagnetic environmental
effects (E3) control and spectrum certification (SC) procedures are addressed during the
item’s acquisition life cycle.
This handbook is consistent with the policies and procedures of DoD Directives (DoDD) 5000.1,
3222.3, and 4650.1, DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5000.2, and DoD Regulation (DoDR) 5000.2-R. Provisions
of this handbook should be used by research, development and acquisition activities, at
appropriate times during the life cycle of any item which emits or which can be susceptible to
electromagnetic energy either through intentional antennas or through other electromagnetic coupling
mechanisms. Essentially, all electronics items and many electrical items fall into this classification.
For example, the handbook may be used:
- During acquisition to assure visibility, accountability, and controllability of the E3/SC
effort, as well as its integration into the overall program, or
- During the design process to assure management awareness and cost effective tailoring of
applicable E3 performance requirements and interface standards. This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the
contractor does not have to comply.

MIL-HDBK-237D, ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND SPECTRUM SUPPORTABILITY GUIDANCE FOR THE ACQUISITION PROCESS (20 MAY 2005). This handbook provides guidance for establishing and implementing effective electromagnetic
environmental effects (E3) control and spectrum supportability (SS) for the design, development,
and procurement of Department of Defense (DoD) platforms, systems, subsystems, or equipment.
This handbook is intended for DoD personnel responsible for requirements generation and
acquisition life cycle processes, including test and evaluation of these end items.
This handbook is consistent with the policies, responsibilities, and procedures of DoD Directives
(DoDD) 5000.1, 3222.3, and 4650.1, DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5000.2, and the latest Chairman,
Joint Chiefs of Staff Instructions (CJCSI) 3170.01 and 6212.01 and Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
Manual (CJCSM) 3170.01. Provisions of this handbook apply to research, development and
acquisition activities for any electrical or electronic device which emits or which can be susceptible
to electromagnetic (EM) energy either through intentional antenna coupling or through
unintentional EM coupling mechanisms such as radiation penetration through the case and cable.
Most electrical and electronic devices procured by DoD fall into these categories. The handbook
may be used either to assure visibility, accountability, and control of the E3/SS effort, as well as its
integration into the overall program, or to assure management awareness and cost effective tailoring
of applicable E3 and SS interface and performance standards.
This handbook is for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the

MIL-HDBK-251
MIL-HDBK-251, MILITARY HANDBOOK RELIABILITY/DESIGN THERMAL APPLICATIONS. This handbook recommends and presents electronic parts stress analyis methods which lead to the selection of maximum safe temperatures for parts so that the ensuing thermal design is consistent with the required equipment reliability. These maximum parts temperature must be properly selected since they are the goals of the thermal design, a fact which is often overlooked. Many thermal designs are inadequate because improper maximum parts temperture were selected as design goals. Consequently, the necessary parts stress analysis procedures have been emphasized. Specific step by step thermal design procedures are given in chapter 4.
MIL-HDBK-259 (NAVY) - LIFE CYCLE COST IN NAVY ACQUISITIONSIdent. Num:
MIL-HDBK-259 (NAVY)
MILITARY HANDBOOK, LIFE CYCLE COST IN NAVY ACQUISITIONS., This handbook provides information on the use of life cycle coating in system and equipment acquisitions. It makes no attempt to develop a LCC standard but rather describes the general methodology and procedures which help make life cycle coating a productive in-house tool as well as a means of program or project evaluation. As inroads are made in the usage of LCC analysis, estimating and implementation techniques should improve, particularly in the operating and support (O&S) cost areas. To maximize their usefulness, LCC analyses should be tailored to the particular needs of an acquisition.
