Review of MIL-STD-461 CS118 – Electrostatic Discharge
Introduction MIL-STD-461G, released in December 2015, added a test for Personnel Borne Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Prior to this release, this type of test for electronic systems and sub-systems was managed at the system level under MIL-STD-464C released in 2010. Both of these standards contain similar requirements. MIL-STD-461G provides the details on testing and … [Read more...]
Overview of the DO-160 Standard
In aerospace, there is one standard that always seems to be popping up, DO-160. Aircraft suppliers are often complying with aviation authorities’ regulations by testing their product to DO-160. DO-160 is a standard that was published by the industry group Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics known as RTCA. RTCA is not a government regulation, however the FAA, EASA and … [Read more...]
