Programmable DC with arbitrary transient sequencing
The DC side of military land-platform testing — wide input, and transients you cannot produce with a bench supply.

What it is for here
Def Stan 61-005 Part 6 asks for 9 to 36 V operation on nominal 12 V and 24 V platform systems, and for the DIT08.B load dump: a loose battery terminal on a heavily loaded system. You cannot generate that profile by turning a knob. It needs arbitrary transient sequencing and a source that survives producing it.
Why it is on the UK site
Land platforms are where British defence work concentrates, and this is the document it is assessed against.
Specifications
Published figures for this line are held on the manufacturer’s current datasheet, and they change. Rather than reprint a table that goes stale, send the requirement — the standard, the device under test, the power envelope and the cadence — and an engineer will come back against the current document.
