The future of truly mobile and deployable MIL-STD-461 EMC test facilities is here
Large platforms, installed systems, and security-restricted equipment cannot always be transported to a stationary laboratory. EMC Field Solutions enables testing, troubleshooting, and diagnostics directly where your system operates.
The solution combines a mobile EMC test facility, dedicated EMC instrumentation, and an experienced EMC specialist team. This lets you access documented EMC testing capabilities without investing in permanent infrastructure or disrupting operational activities.
You may benefit from on-site testing when operational schedules, production activities, or security considerations make laboratory testing impractical. Testing at the installation site provides greater flexibility during investigations and reduces the logistical complexity associated with moving large or integrated systems.
The approach is particularly relevant when systems must remain operational, when surrounding systems influence EMC performance, or when rapid troubleshooting and diagnostics are needed to support technical decisions.
EMC Field Solutions combines EMC specialists, instrumentation, and a deployable test facility in a single solution.
The facility supports EMC troubleshooting and diagnostics, EMC pre-compliance testing, and the majority of MIL-STD-461 test methods under field conditions, including NEMP-related work.
Testing is performed using methods, equipment, and expertise built on Force Technology's DANAK-accredited services. Customers receive documented test results and, where applicable, accredited reports that support investigations, technical documentation, and further testing activities.
Target group and benefits
EMC Field Solutions is relevant when you need access to EMC specialists and testing capabilities without establishing your own EMC infrastructure. The service supports production environments, defence and security organisations, and operational teams that need documented EMC results while keeping systems in their installed environment.
Documented measurements can be used to investigate EMC issues, compare performance, support troubleshooting activities, and provide input for further technical work. Results also support decisions regarding corrective actions, additional testing, and system readiness.
Where accredited reporting is required, the solution provides documentation based on recognised methods and repeatable execution.
Use cases
MIL-STD-461 testing at your location
Use EMC Field Solutions when you need MIL-STD-461 testing without transporting systems to a stationary EMC laboratory. This is particularly relevant for large platforms, security-restricted equipment, and systems where the installed environment influences EMC performance.
EMC specialists perform the work using a deployable test facility that supports the majority of MIL-STD-461 test methods under field conditions.
EMC troubleshooting and diagnostics
Investigate EMC issues directly where systems operate or are assembled. EMC specialists perform troubleshooting and diagnostics using dedicated instrumentation and a controlled EMC environment. This makes it possible to analyse issues and compare documented measurements without relocating the system.
Testing of installed and large-scale systems
Assess installed and large-scale systems without relocating them to a laboratory. This includes large industrial equipment, communication systems, autonomous systems, and deck-mounted subsystems on maritime platforms. Testing can be performed without disrupting the surrounding systems.
High-energy electromagnetic environments
Use EMC Field Solutions when work related to NEMP, HEMP, indirect lightning effects, or other high-energy electromagnetic environments must be performed on-site.
The solution supports activities associated with MIL-STD-461 RS105, RTCA DO-160, and other requirements for high-energy electromagnetic environments where the required test setup is available.
Facility specifications
Mobile chamber dimensions
The reverberation chamber measures 8.6 × 16.25 × 6.8 m, defining the available test environment for systems and products.
Required floor space
Deployment requires an area of 15 × 25 × 8 m and space for two 20 ft containers.
Power supply
The setup requires 1 × 400 VAC, 50 Hz, 32 A.
Large-scale access
A 5 m wide and 5 m high access opening supports testing of larger systems and equipment.
Deployment timeline
The service is designed to be ready for testing within 48 hours. Day 1 is used for deployment, and day 2 for chamber verification and calibration.
Radiated susceptibility capability
Radiated susceptibility testing supports field strengths up to +200 V/m across 80 MHz to 40 GHz, including support for NEMP-related work referenced to MIL-STD-461 RS105.
Radiated emission capability
Radiated emission coverage ranges from 9 kHz to 40 GHz.
Shielding effectiveness
Shielding effectiveness is referenced to IEEE 299.
Facility setup
Specialist-led deployment
EMC Field Solutions is delivered as a specialist-led solution. EMC specialists deploy, configure, and operate the facility on-site, giving you access to EMC expertise, test equipment, and testing capabilities without investing in permanent infrastructure.
Mobile test facility
The mobile reverberation chamber and associated equipment are transported, delivered, and collected in two 20 ft containers, enabling deployment at production facilities, operational locations, and other customer sites.
Ready for testing within 48 hours
The setup is designed to be ready for testing within 48 hours after arrival. Day 1 is used for deployment, while day 2 is used for chamber verification and calibration before testing begins.
Controlled installation conditions
The facility must be installed in a suitable protected environment and requires the defined site conditions, floor space, and power supply needed to establish a controlled EMC test environment.
