NAVSEA OP 3565/NAVAIR 16-1-529 (REV. 17) (VOL. 2), TECHNICAL MANUAL: ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION HAZARDS - HAZARDS TO ORDNANCE (HERO) (01 JUL 2008)., The purpose of this volume is to prescribe operating procedures and precautions to prevent initiation of electrically initiated devices (EID's) in ordnance from electromagnetic radiation (EMR). 2. This manual supersedes NAVSEA OP 3565/NAVAIR 16-1-529 Volume 2 Fifteenth Revision, dated 1 August 2006, which should be destroyed. 3. This volume provides technical guidance to assist commanding officers in carrying out their responsibilities for safety from a radio frequency hazards standpoint. The procedures and precautions prescribed herein apply in every instance within the Naval establishment (ships and shore stations) where an electrically-initiated explosive item is exposed to radio frequency fields of potentially hazardous frequency and intensity. Operational commanders may waive compliance with any provision, when essential, under emergency conditions. When noncompliance with restrictions contained herein is essential, emergency procedures are provided in order to explain and minimize the risks involved.
