EMC Testing for Aircraft and Spacecraft - Environmental Simulation for Aircraft and Spacecraft

Airplanes are considered to be the safest means of transport - the requirements for approval are high and mistakes are inexcusable. Our contribution to safe flying: every new component or even complete system must undergo accredited tests before approval - in our EMC and environmental laboratories. We offer e.g. HIRF test (High Intensity Radiated Fields), EMP test (Electro-Magnetic Pulse), HERF test (High Electric Radiated Fields), LEMP test (Lightning Electromagnetic Pulse), NEMP test (Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse) and many more, just ask us.

In our ISO 17025 accredited EMC laboratory and accredited environmental simulation laboratory, we carry out EMC testing and environmental simulation testing for aviation and aerospace according to relevant standards such as RTCA/DO-160, MIL, DEF and many more.

In addition to EMC tests and environmental simulation tests, tests of direct and indirect lightning strikes play an important role in aerospace. Get an overview of the necessary tests according to special standards in the area of lightning strikes: EMCC DR RAŠEK lightning strike test

EMC Tests for Aircraft and Spacecraft

There are numerous absorber-lined chambers and other shielded rooms available in our EMC laboratory for EMC tests on components. Smaller aircraft can be tested in our large absorber hall or on our open area test site for up to 30 m measuring distance. We would also be pleased to perform EMC, HIRF and Lightning measurements on your aircraft – operating in our labs and on-site worldwide.

The Three Main Causes of EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) related Problems in Aircraft are:

Lightning strikes
External High intensity Electromagnetic Fields
Mutual electromagnetic interference between parts of a system
