U.S. Navy Growlers Use Electromagnetic Noise to Confuse Enemy Signals

 

The U.S. Navy has been deploying a small fleet of supersonic EA-18 Growler jets in Libya to "jam" Moammar Kadafi's ground radar, giving NATO fighters and bombers free rein to strike tanks, communication depots and other strategic targets. The United States is spending billions of dollars in a massive effort to respond to electronic warfare. These jammers, for instance, spew … [Read more...]

Doomsday Plane’s Immunity to Electromagnetic Pulse Determined via RS105 Testing

 

The President’s $223 million doomsday plane is outfitted with an electromagnetic pulse shield to protect its 165,000 pounds of advanced electronics. Thermo-radiation shields also protect the plane in the event of a nuclear strike. The shield was tested by means of RS105 test method specified in MIL-STD-461F, which addresses the risk of radiated exposure to an EMP event.  The … [Read more...]

Ferrite Testing Reveals Significant Performance Variations

 

Recent empirical testing of FerriShield Ferrites shows that there is a notable increase in Ohms of impedance when compared to the exact same competitive alternative. Due to an industry‐wide shift in raw material formulation and manufacturing processes, many RFI/EMI ferrites on the market are delivering lower performance across a wide‐band frequency range. This variation is an … [Read more...]

iNARTE Adds Two EMC Certifications

 

iNARTE is launching two new EMC certifications this year.  The first is EMC DESIGN ENGINEER for engineers whose primary responsibility is to apply EMC principles to electronic design. The other program is for the MIL-STD EMC SPECIALIST. iNARTE is now introducing a special program and short form examination dedicated to the MIL-STDs and the EMC fundamentals that practitioners in … [Read more...]
