MIL-D-81980, MILITARY SPECIFICATION: DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF SIGNAL TRANSMISSION SUBSYSTEMS, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (24-SEP-1974)

MIL-D-81980, MILITARY SPECIFICATION: DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF SIGNAL TRANSMISSION SUBSYSTEMS, GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR (24-SEP-1974)., This specification covers the general requirements for design and establishes uniform methods for testing signal transmission subsystems. For purposes of this specification, a signal transmission subsystem (STS) includes the energy source(s) and output control function devices, and is composed of the following components: cartridges, electric initiators, cartridge actuated devices (CAD's), transmission lines, and other associated equipment (see 6.3.2). The transmission lines (hose/tubing, detonating cord, electrical,deflagrating cord, optical, etc.) provide the means for routing a signal(s) between STS components.
