Unit Descriptor
This unit covers the competency required to acquire data related to imagery (film, video and digital) in a proof and experimental environment.
Explosive ordnance proof tests are conducted to ensure weapons systems or explosive ordnance in service with the Australian Defence Force meets the required standards. The acquisition of data related to imagery is a common component of proof tests and normally involves a number of personnel both in planning and implementation.
This unit does not cover the planning for data acquisition. Normally a data acquisition plan would be a component of the testing plan. If planning is required then it is covered in DEFEO602C Plan explosive ordnance trials.
Application of the Unit
This unit applies in a physical science or engineering environment where product undergoes testing to establish that it meets established standards and/or specifications.
This unit was developed for data acquisition specialists working within proof and experimental organisations in Defence but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
Typically these individuals must demonstrate the ability to work as individuals and as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
