Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Electronic systems must function properly in a harsh EM environment.
• Experience:– Orbital Boost Vehicle for Europe
– EKV grounding design support
5
– EKV grounding design support
– EMI analyses and hardening of several missile systems (EKV, MX, Minuteman, Patriot)
– FAA Aircraft Studies
– Commercial Nuclear Power Plants
– All 4 Pave Paws Radar Installations
– Generals’ Cars, Computers, Radios
• Hardening: Application of EM shields, filters, and cable geometries.
• Testing: Equipment, methods and requirements per MIL-STD-188-125, MIL-STD-2169B, MDA-STD-001, MIL-STD-461E and MIL-STD-464.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Electronic devices must function properly in concert with other systems.
• Experience:– Prevention of “fratricide” of aircraft electronics
from an airborne HPM radiator
– EMC analyses and hardening of several missile
6
– EMC analyses and hardening of several missile systems (EKV, MX, Minuteman, Patriot)
– Shielded power plant on Roi-Namur, Kwajalein/US Army
– Combined Battlefield Electromagnetic Effects Program/DTRA
– Commercial Nuclear Power Plants
– All 4 Pave Paws Radar Installations
• Hardening: Reduction of emissions through the application of EM shields, filters, and other measures.
• Testing: Equipment, methods and requirements per MIL-STD-461E and MIL-STD-464.
High-Altitude and Dispersed
Electromagnetic Pulse
(HEMP and DEMP)
Electronic systems must function-through or survive the exposure of EM fields from a nuclear blast.
• Experience:– Orbital Boost Vehicle for Europe
– EKV HEMP response analyses
– HEMP Phenomenology
– HEMP hardening of several fixed and mobile military sites
7
– HEMP hardening of several fixed and mobile military sites
– Trident submarine HEMP vulnerability
– Hardening STU-IIM, PCS-III, SAC Steel Room, CINCSAC communications, TANGO/South Korea and other facilities,including NMD/GMD/Alaska
– Generals’ Cars, Computers, Radios
• Hardening: Reduction of system effects to EM radiation through tailored hardening (limiting response using filters, electrical surge arrestors, shielding, and components for a unique system.)
• Testing: Low-level CW for transfer functions. Pulse current injection (PCI), or high-level fields for nonlinear effects and component survivability per MIL-STD-188-125 and MIL-STD-2169B.
System Generated Electromagnetic
Pulse (SGEMP and IEMP)
Ionizing-radiation environments result in internal current and voltage sources that can cause upset or damage of circuits.
