  • Military Standard 461E-G.

 

EMC design advice and consultancy

Early stage customer interaction through our design and consultancy services provides customer advantage, enabling decades of experience to be applied –from initial design stage through to aircraft integration – avoiding costly and time-consuming redesign at later stages of the development cycle.

 

EMC UK-based test facilities

Our UK-based test facilities include high power reverberation chambers and large semi-anechoic test chambers to perform equipment level EMC tests to both military and civil test standards.

Our flexible and multi-disciplinary technical team can provide customised test programmes to address customers’ varying requirements, and deliver early stage EMC compliance confidence in advance of full aircraft certification testing
