Element Materials Technology has global capacity for defense EMC testing as the defense industry’s leading partner for the design, testing and qualification of military equipment entering into service around the world.
We work with defense manufacturers from the conception of their products; our Early Stage Qualification (ESQ®) service supports them through the complex nature of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) qualification and testing of modern defense equipment. Our ESQ expertise gained from testing thousands of different products every year allows us to help companies experience a smoother journey through the final testing and validation phase of their projects, reducing both their risk and the final cost of testing.
Defense EMC testing services
Element operates accredited EMC labs in the US (ISO/IEC 17025:2005 by A2LA or NVLAP) and in the UK (UKAS accredited to BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005) and have a global network of laboratories to deliver EMC testing in chambers that range in size from traditional dimensions for smaller systems or programs up to our enormous military vehicle EMC test chamber. This was originally built to test the Challenger Main Battle tank, and has recently been used for the new generation of naval systems and British army vehicles including the Mastiff and Husky.
We design and deliver pre-compliance testing and formal defense EMC testing programs for over 350 military products every year. Our expertise in tri-service testing and validation helps the entire supply chain demonstrate the durability and effectiveness of its products in the challenging military environments into which they will be deployed.
