Testing to withstand the environments listed previously for the various life phases of military hardware involves not only testing of construction materials to help the designer find the best material for the job, but testing the unit after construction to see how well it can function after being placed into the various test environments. Only the equipment tests are crucial here since materials testing is covered fully in other areas.
