The environmental conditions faced by military or commercial equipment cannot be allowed to dictate its operating performance, especially for mission-critical vehicles and machinery. MIL-STD 810, approved by the U.S. Department of Defense, and RTCA DO-160, published by RTCA, Inc., were developed to help the DOD and its supply chain to build resilient and robust products that meet the needs of our armed forces and our commercial aircraft and equipment industries.
