(1) In the extended configuration (pushed forward of the gunner position), a vibration hazard exists which creates the possibility of damage to the base frame. (2) When used in the retracted configuration (pulled towards the gunner), the use of the M2 .50 caliber machine gun and MK19 40mm grenade launcher is prohibited due to lack of space to mount the ammunition canisters. c. Table 14–5 below provides the frequency bands, maximum allowable environment (MAE) expressed in volts per meter (V/m), and S4 phases of NL/TLMS operation. It indicates the electromagnetic radiation to which the NL/TLMS may safely be exposed without a potential premature ignition of the munition. Table 14–5 Non-lethal/tube launched munition system maximum allowable environment Frequency (megahertz (MHz)) MAE (V/m) S4 phases 2–32 15 Handling and loading 400–700 14.1 Handling and loading 700–790 36.3 Handling and loading 790–1,000 46.9 Handling and loading 790–1,000 387 Handling and loading staged, or platform loaded d. Minimum safe target engagement for the NL/TLMS is 31 m due to possibility of fragments or debris. Additional- ly, the stand-off distance will be 31 m for known transmitters such as the AN/VRC–104, Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (CREW), CREW-training, and electronically fuzed counter-impro- vised explosive device systems during handling and loading phases of the NL/TLMS. e. All personnel will wear eye protection, single-hearing protection, and throat protector provided for the modular tactical vest. While the NL/TLMS is being fired from the vehicle platform, firing personnel will be fully seated in the turret using the turret harness. 180 DA PAM 385–63 • 16 April 2014
