d.  Method to be used to interpret test data and observations to evaluate operational shield design.

6.3.2  Test report.  A report documenting the design and testing of each shield should be prepared and submitted as specified in the contract or order.  The test report should be used as a basis for evaluating the operational shield design and should include as a minimum:

a.  Drawings showing design and construction details of the operational shield.

b.  An equipment manual giving instructions for set up, operation, and maintenance of the operational shield, including a description of the shield's relationship to any allied equipment.

c.  A complete report of test of prototype shield, including test set up, test procedure, test results, and analysis of test results.

d.  Still camera color pictures of operational shield before and after test, including any pictures needed to illustrate and clarify the set up, discussion, conclusions and recommendations sections of the test report.

e.  High speed motion picture camera coverage taken of each test with at least one

camera.  Additional cameras or multiple tests with camera(s) at different locations will be used to provide required coverage.  Cameras should record event on color film at a speed of at least 400 frames (pictures) per second.
