Which classification applies to an EID that is not susceptible to EMR initiation and remains safe during EMR exposure?

• A. HERO susceptible
• B. HERO unsafe
• C. HERO safe
• D. Not HERO

Answer: (C)

The question tests how items are classified under HERO (Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance) based on their reaction to EMR exposure. If an EID does not initiate when exposed to electromagnetic fields and stays safe during EMR exposure, it is categorized as HERO safe. This means normal EMR environments won’t trigger it, so standard handling and storage practices are appropriate without the extra precautions needed for EMR-sensitive items.

HERO susceptible would mean the device can be initiated by EMR, which isn’t the case here. HERO unsafe indicates a higher risk under EMR exposure, requiring stricter controls, and Not HERO refers to items outside the HERO evaluation scope, which also doesn’t apply.
