The MIL-STD-464 HERO standard, developed by the US Department of Defense, covers the minimum acceptable requirements for electromagnetic compatibility of munitions and related equipment used in land, air, sea and space defense systems.

The ignition circuits of this equipment are inherently very sensitive to electromagnetic environments. These tests are critical for managing risks to exposure to normally occurring electromagnetic radiation. Compliance with the MIL-STD-464 standard requires that all aspects of a system be demonstrated to be electromagnetically compatible at all stages of its lifecycle.
This includes storage, transportation and maintenance as well as normal in-service operation. MIL-STD-464 certification is generally awarded to equipment that passes electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) tests in highly controlled and semi-anechoic rooms.
The abbreviation HERO is formed from the initials of the phrase "hazard of electromagnetic radiation to ordnance", which means munitions threat of electromagnetic radiation.
HERO, electromagnetic radiation hazard testing for ammunition is a key criterion for ensuring equipment compliance with the MIL-STD-464 standard. This test is performed to ascertain that the required ammunition safety margins are met when the equipment under test is exposed to high levels of electricity.
This test method requires the equipment to measure the current induced in the bridge wire and compare the measurements with the predetermined average fire-free current of the bridge wire. These tests are performed in advanced laboratories in terms of electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference. It is necessary to monitor the response of equipment to high levels of electromagnetic radiation to verify that acceptable safety and reliability limits are met.
The MIL-STD-464 standard requires electromagnetic compatibility between all subsystems and equipment within the system and with environments caused by electromagnetic effects outside the system. Verification is performed on systems that represent production. Safety-critical functions must be verified for electromagnetic compatibility within the system and with external environments prior to use in these environments.
