Testing EMI Materials for Battlefield Applications

Aerospace and defense technology must operate reliably in a wide variety of extreme conditions, including very high and very low temperatures and amid saltwater and harsh chemicals (from deicing fluids to missile fuel). Further, manufacturers must meet stringent requirements. As a result, the testing regimen involved in ensuring battlefield readiness is complex and multifaceted – not only for the devices that end up in soldiers’ hands, but also for the many component parts that make those devices work.
