4 FIRST ARTICLE TEST (FAT) REQUIREMENTS
Cables shall meet and pass the following requirements.
4.1 Required test quantity.
Every contract shall be subjected to a FAT. 10 percent per quantity
of 20 or more items, per each contract, will be required to undergo
testing. If less than a quantity of 20 items are being procured
(per contract), then a minimum quantity of 2 items, per each contract,

items then all items will be required to undergo testing. Test sample
quantity requirements may be amended provided the Testing Facility
is notified and concurrence given. 4.2 Test methodology. Testing will be in accordance with Acceptance Test Plans (ATP)-15790.
Cables shall meet and pass the requirements of technical drawings 15790
(52196). Cables must have Form-Fit-Function compatibility during
ALQ-99 WRA transmitter testing utilizing high voltage loads on the
ON-523_/USM-636(V) Operational Test Program Set (OTPS), and using
Test Program Software (TPS) #736700. The test item(s) will not be destroyed
