MIL-STD-461 Testing Capabilities

Elite has an impressive installation of EMC chambers and equipment to perform all types of MIL-STD-461 testing.

Absorber Lined Shielded Enclosures (ALSE)	ALSE chambers that are qualified for MIL-STD-461 EMC testing. Our largest chambers are configurable for testing groups of floor-standing units interconnected for system level testing. Chambers include expansive ground planes to position multiple LRUs and to layout harness and cabling for maximum exposure. ALSE (CW/SW): 200-400V/m from 10kHz to 40GHz ALSE (PM): up to 1500V/m from 1-18GHz
Mode Stirred/Tuned Enclosures	Elite’s “Reverb” chambers are used for High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF) testing. Reverb (CW/SW): up to 1000V/m, from 100MHz-18GHz Reverb (PM): up to 4000V/m from 1-18GHz.
Whole Vehicle EMC Chamber	Elite has two chambers that support Whole Vehicle EMC testing. Each are configured with room exhaust handling for Engine-Running tests.
Bench Test Stations	8 bench test stations are provisioned for lightning tests, electrical loads testing, and various other unique procedures that don’t require a shielded chamber environments.
Power Systems Tests	60kW Programmable Power Supplies for MIL-704 and MIL-1399. Voltage variations, dips, interrupts, sags, and other power supply variations. 1500VDC/60A Bi-Directional Power Supply and Load. 800VDC/100A DC supply. LISNs up to 800VDC and up to 200Amps.
Specialty Tests	RS105 EMP testing at 50k V/m MIL-STD-1399 Magnetic Susceptibility for large equipment. M-field coils up to 15’x15′.
