MIL-STD-461G / RTCA DO-160G EMC Test Methods and Compliance Training

by

Military and Aerospace Systems must comply with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements. MIL-STD-461G is applied to Department of Defense (DoD) procurements for equipment and subsystems and RTCA DO-160G is the EMC certification standard for commercial aviation.  The EMC test and evaluation requirements have a lot of similarity and this MIL-STD-461G / RTCA DO-160G EMC Test Methods and Compliance Training course takes advantage of that similarity through instruction that combines the two standards.

MIL-STD-461G test and evaluation methods will be presented, including system requirements, general requirements, test article configurations, and documentation. This MIL-STD-461G / RTCA DO-160G EMC Test Methods and Compliance course offers critical information for military compliance professionals, testing industry professionals, and developers involved with electronics systems development. Instruction for each of the MIL-STD-461 test and measurement methods along with analysis of the test results will be covered.

DO-160G methods are integrated into the course by looking at the differences for requirements that are fundamentally alike during that method’s discussion, along with supplementing the course material with DO-160G test methods that are not part of MIL-STD-461G. This 4-day MIL-STD-461G / RTCA DO-160G EMC Test Methods and Compliance course provides detailed focus on performing the testing, reducing and understanding the data and managing test problems. It features practical methods to address the complexity of the standard configuration along with concepts to manage the unusual product types. Military and Aerospace Systems must comply with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements.

This is an iNARTE approved training course and qualifies for CPD credits required for continuing certification.  If you are not iNARTE certified – ENO Institute can administer the examination – contact us for details.
