Emilab completes its investment programme for MIL-STD and aerospace testing, with a focus on UAS and drones

Emilab has completed its investment programme to extend testing services to the aerospace, security and defence sector. The lab can now support manufacturers and integrators of equipment, subsystems and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) throughout qualification to MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810.

The new capabilities cover almost the full MIL-STD-461G/H scope: conducted emissions (CE101, CE102, CE106), conducted susceptibility (CS101 to CS118), radiated emissions (RE101, RE102, RE103) and radiated susceptibility RS101 and RS103 up to 40 GHz and 200 V/m. Testing takes place in our largest semi-anechoic chamber, 8.64 × 5.6 × 5.68 m with shielding of at least 120 dB, using MIL-STD-461 LISNs and power sources with dedicated MIL-STD and DO-160 test routines. The core MIL-STD-810H climatic and mechanical methods are run in-house, including high and low temperature, temperature shock, humidity, salt fog, vibration and shock, with shakers combined with climatic chambers.

UAS and drones bring together control links, video downlinks, GNSS receivers and dense power electronics in a light airframe. Emilab can test the complete aircraft as well as its individual units, combining EMC, radio and environmental testing in one facility.
