CONCLUSION 



Synergistic (interacting) effects of combined environments were shown to 

 exist and to have contributed to the degradation in output power response of an 

 if/am amplifier module. 



RECOMMENDATIONS 



1. Conduct a conventional environmental test according to MIL-E-16400E 

 (NAVY) and a combined-environment test on a shipboard electronic module and 

 compare the results. 



2. Continue assessment of the effects of combined environments on ship- 

 board electronic equipment with various types of shipboard electronic modules. 



3. Continue work to develop a "standard" combined-environment 

 test procedure.
