EMC / EMI for Military & Aerospace

With over 40 years in military and aerospace testing, National Technical Systems understands what it takes for your equipment to be EMC and EMI compliant without creating unnecessary hurdles to your development program. Our equipment includes fourteen shielded rooms that meet MIL-STD 461/462 A-E and DO-160 requirements, six open test sites, a 40 ft x 40 ft x 18 ft (12m x 12m x 5.5m) chamber, and 200 V/m, 10kHz to 40GHz test capability at locations in Arizona, Massachusetts, Texas, New Jersey, California, Calgary (Canada) and Munich (Germany).

NTS routinely tests to RTCA DO-160, IEEE-STD-299 and platform specific standards, such as Boeing and Airbus as well as to numerous Military Standards, including:

  • Mil-Std 461
  • Mil-Std 462
  • Mil-Std 1576
  • Mil-Std 285
  • Mil-Std 704
  • Mil-Std 1541
  • Mil-Std 220

NTS maintains a continuous in-house training program and actively supports technical personnel taking coursework in EMI and EMC product design, electromagnetic shielding, grounding, antenna fundamentals, and related topics. NTS engineers routinely offer design assistance to our clients, providing efficient and pragmatic solutions to real-time EMI/EMC testing issues.

Special Set-Ups Available

All National Technical Systems EMI testing and EMC testing facilities contain numerous power supplies and sources for our extensive customer base. National Technical Systems has equipment that supports 110 - 480 V; 60 or 400 Hz; single or three phase power sources as well as DC power supplies with capabilities up to 1200 A and voltages up to 600 V. For various aircraft applications, variable voltage and frequency generators are also available. In addition, NTS provides 50 Hz power generators for European or NATO applications. Both East and West Coast facilities are appropriately configured and hold approvals for handling of classified test items and data.

Equipment tested includes systems, subsystems, and components for ground vehicles, surface ships, submarines, aircraft (Army), aircraft (Air Force and Navy), and space hardware (satellite, ground support and launch). Because of our large EMI test chambers and EMC test chambers, NTS often performs testing of complete stand-alone units, such as armored military vehicles or multi-ton diesel generators. Our machining and fabrication facilities can help our test cells accommodate such large items by fabricating intake and exhaust piping, shielding, heat removal systems and any ancillary equipment required for special testing.
