    MIL‑STD‑461H: An update to a key defense EMC standard 

    MIL‑STD‑461 is a globally recognized reference standard for the evaluation of electromagnetic compatibility of electronic, electrical, and electromechanical equipment used in military and defense environments. The new MIL‑STD‑461H revision introduces relevant updates compared to previous versions, with a direct impact on test requirements and technical implementation. 

    Applus+ Laboratories has recently published a technical article outlining the main changes introduced in MIL‑STD‑461H, providing detailed insight into the updated technical requirements defined in the new revision. 

    Accredited EMC testing according to MIL‑STD‑461H 

    The MIL‑STD‑461H accreditation strengthens Applus+ Laboratories’ capabilities in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, covering conducted and radiated emissions, susceptibility, and transient phenomena. Testing is performed using semi‑anechoic chambers and reverberation chambers, in compliance with generic EMC requirements and demanding military standards. 

    Applus+ Laboratories provides ISO/IEC 17025 accredited EMC testing according to MIL‑STD‑461, including the latest MIL‑STD‑461H version, serving manufacturers in the aerospace and defense sectors. 

    Global EMC testing capabilities for military systems and platforms 

    Applus+ Laboratories provides EMC testing capabilities designed to cover the entire integration lifecycle of military equipment, from electronic components and subsystems to fully integrated vehicles and complex platforms, including armored vehicles and unmanned systems

    The testing infrastructure includes more than ten semi‑anechoic chambers of different sizes, as well as reverberation chambers, enabling the reproduction of electromagnetic environments representative of real defense applications. These capabilities cover HIRF testing, EMC testing up to 40 GHz, and the use of military transient generators, including indirect lightning effects, in accordance with the requirements of MIL‑STD‑461, including revision H
