EMI/EMC Requirements for Military and Commercial Applications

In this white paper, you get to learn key differences among EMI/EMC test requirements for military and commercial applications. The integration of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) equipment in the Department of Defense (DoD) has increased over the past decade due to cost-effectiveness and reduced deployment time. There are, however, variances between commercial and military testing, particularly in the areas of frequency range, measurement distance, resolution BW, and peak versus quasi peak. In this white paper, you get to:

• Understand differences between military and commercial EMI/EMC criteria
• Identify common issues with MIL-STD-461G CE101 & CE102 testing
• Understand the challenges of testing to MIL-STD requirements

MIL-STD-810 Temperature Testing

GVIRL experts are able to test to all methods of MIL-STD-810H. In this TESTalk, Hosted by Clayton Forbes, a Test Engineer of the Year Nominee, walks you through MIL-STD-810H testing for the following methods:

• High Temperature (501.7)
• Low Temperature (502.7)
• Thermal Shock (503.7)

The TESTalk covers the different procedures involved in temperature testing that’s in accordance with MIL-STD-810H requirements.

Lightning and Electrostatic Charge Effects

Written by the world’s foremost authorities on lightning testing, this white paper provides technical insights into lightning electrostatic charge effects and the protection design approaches for aircrafts.

How do you protect aircraft from these hazards? One of the main issues is protection of the envelope, which is usually filled with helium. Helium poses special problems in this regard, even though it is an inert gas, because the electrical breakdown of helium occurs at about 1/3rd the electric field required for air.

As you read the paper, you’ll learn what’s involved with re-creating real-world phenomena using a 1/25th scale model with envelope enclosures combined with laboratory testing and numerical simulations of thunderstorm electric field interaction with the airship geometry and materials.
