Description
This unit describes the skills required to conduct dynamic small arms proof, trial and experimental tests in the explosive ordnance environment. Explosive ordnance dynamic small arms tests are conducted to ensure weapons systems or small arms ammunition in service meet the required standards. The dynamic small arms proof tests are a common component of explosive ordnance quality assurance.This unit was developed for proof, trial and experimental testing specialists working within proof, trial and experimental organisations in Defence, but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out.
