Engineering & Testing for Defense, Space, and Military Systems

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Assurance for Mission-Critical Applications

In defense and space environments, electromagnetic performance is not optional—it is mission-critical. Our Engineering and Testing Services ensure your systems operate reliably in the most demanding environments, meeting stringent military and aerospace standards with confidence.

We support prime contractors, subcontractors, and government programs across defense, aerospace, space, naval, ground and tactical platforms—from early design through final qualification. We understand how EMC performance impacts mission readiness, safety, and survivability.

We are Certified through the Joint Certification Program (JCP) and we are compliant with the DoD Cybersecurity requirements for CMMC L2 (NIST SP 800-171 Compliant) and work with ITAR and CUI datasets. We have proven experience supporting classified and export controlled programs.

Comprehensive Capabilities

EMC Design & Mitigation Engineering Consulting

We don’t just test—we engineer solutions.

  • EMC design consulting & design reviews

  • Hardening and quieting of electronics, systems, platforms & vehicles

  • System EMC design

  • Cable shielding, grounding, and bonding strategies

  • Filter design and selection

  • Enclosures, shielding and chassis optimization

  • EMI root-cause analysis and corrective actions

Our engineers help prevent costly redesigns and late-stage test failures.

EMC Testing Services

We provide full-spectrum EMC testing to support compliance, qualification, and risk reduction for hardware and systems:

  • Radiated Emissions (RE)

  • Conducted Emissions (CE)

  • Radiated Susceptibility / Immunity (RS)

  • Conducted Susceptibility / Immunity (CS)

  • Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

  • Electrical, Surge, Transients

  • Lightning & Indirect Effects (supporting analysis and test coordination)

  • Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Diagnostics

Testing is performed in our 6000 sq. ft. lab with a focus on system-level performance, not just pass/fail results.

Military & Aerospace Standards Expertise

Our team has experience supporting compliance with critical EMC standards, including:

  • MIL-STD-461

  • MIL-STD-464

  • DO-160

  • RTCA / EUROCAE requirements

  • Program-specific and platform-unique EMC requirements

We work directly with program offices, primes, and test authorities to ensure alignment with Control Plan and operational expectations.

We have extensive experience hardening and quieting devices with high field strength and low emissions requirements along with unrivaled reliability in the field. Extensive design and testing knowledge and experience are required to be successful.

Key facts about our Defense EMC pre-compliance testing process:

  1. We discover hardware, software and systems EMC issues quickly

  2. We find the root cause by understanding the physics and fix electromagnetic compatibility issues within the same EMC test phase

  3. We perform over-testing to ensure sufficient design margin and confirm improvements

  4. Our defense customers move forward confidently into their EMC compliance test phase

  5. By focusing on the risk areas and performing defense EMC testing in a shorter time-frame our customers often save at least one product design iteration. 

  6. As EMC issues are identified we have a full line-up of EMC troubleshooting tools to locate the source of the failure.  In addition to our EMC tools we have a large number of component kits in house to prototype solutions and retest quickly.
