Defence Test Systems

Equipment for use by the UK Ministry of Defence will likely have to comply with various Defence Standards.  The EMC requirements can be found in Def Stan 59-411.  The actual requirements differ depending on the environment of use (Land, Sea or Air) and the proximity to intentional RF sources.

Defence Standard 61-5 covers the power quality requirements of vehicles & platforms, and the equipment installed within them.  It is split up into Parts, with each one referring to a different environment.  For example, Part 6 refers to Ground systems.

United States requirements are detailed in Military Standard (Mil-Std) 461 and 1275;  NATO countries are expected to meet  the AECTP 500 series of standards.

Most other countries refer to one or more of the above standards.
