Description
This unit describes the skills required to prepare proof, trial and experimental firing points to support proof, experimental and trial testing of munitions and weapon systems. The practitioner is responsible for ensuring the available firing point technologies and equipment best meet the design outcomes of the required test.This unit was developed for personnel who are firing point specialists working within proof, experimental and trials organisations or original equipment manufacturers, but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently as part of a team under indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform routine tasks in known contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
