MIL-DTL-62545E
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or
order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these
personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging
requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or
Defense Agency, or within the military service's system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting
the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The MSEC is a basic component of an optical fire sensing system designed to quickly detect
and extinguish hydrocarbon fires in military ground combat and tactical vehicles (such as the M992 Field Artillery
Ammunition Support Vehicle (FAASV)). The MSEC continuously monitors the system, and upon receipt of a fire
signal from the optical fire sensor it issues crew warnings by energizing fire warning lamps and an audible fire
warning signal and by issuing extinguisher discharge commands.
