Where MIL-STD-464C serves as a system/platform level set of requirements, MIL-STD-461G serves as an equipment/subsystem level set of requirements. Similar to MIL-STD-464C, MIL-STD-461G was developed as an “Interface Standard” to allow usage without a waiver. The overall structure of the two documents is also the same in that both have a contractual main body and a very … [Read more...]
Spectrum Management and the EME
Certification In years past, E3 (Electromagnetic Environment Effects) control and Spectrum Supportability were considered separate entities and design and development efforts were often segregated. Over the last several years, the trend has shifted to a more consolidated approach and today the two areas go hand in hand. Spectrum Supportability starts with equipment spectrum … [Read more...]
Introduction to MIL-STD-464C
Responding to increasing criticism, Secretary of Defense William Perry issued a memorandum in 1994 that effectively eliminated the use of most defense standards. This has become known as the “Perry memo”. Many defense standards were canceled. In their place, the DOD encouraged the use of industry standards for quality assurance. MIL-STD-464 was developed as an “Interface … [Read more...]
