The emphases of this MIL-STD, (with the exception of Method 528), is tailoring a materiel item’s environmental design and test limits to the conditions that the specific materiel will experience throughout its service life. Establishing laboratory test methods that replicate the effects of environments on materiel, rather than trying to reproduce the environments themselves. The goal is to provide an up-front explanation of how to implement the environmental tailoring process throughout the materiel acquisition cycle.

Accordingly, this revision orients environmental design and test direction toward three basic types of users who have distinctly different, although closely associated, interests: Program Managers who, among other responsibilities, ensure proposed concepts and systems are valid and functional in intended operational environments; environmental engineering specialists (EES), who enter the acquisition process early to assist combat and materiel developer tailoring efforts by preparing life cycle environmental profiles and drafting tailored design criteria and test programs; and the design, test, and evaluation community, whose analysts, engineers, and facility operators use tailored designs and tests to meet user needs.
