Numerex Corporation recently announced the successful completion of testing of its SX1 satellite tracking device under the Cooperative Research and Development Agreements with US Transportation Command (USTRANCOM). After HERO (Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance) testing, Numerex received HERO certification, which, along with successful environmental testing, clears the way for any military agency to procure SX1 tracking tags. The SX1 met or exceeded 16 methods within the MIL-STD requirements during the first phase of testing at the UNICOR test laboratory in Littleton, CO. Phase two consisted of HERO testing at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, VA, where the SX1 received the highest certification rating available—Zero separation distance from Ordnance. HERO testing ensures safe operation in close proximity to ordnance present in munitions containers per applicable Department of Defense standard 6055.09. All electromagnetic transmitting devices that will operate in close proximity to ordnance must pass HERO testing.
