The Challenge of EMC Design for Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Military Applications

In this lecture, Rob will demonstrate how military and civilian EMC and ESD requirements differ and what that means in practice. He will discuss, among other things, how field strengths, network conditions, and voltage quality differ between military and civilian applications.

He also discusses design strategies such as shielding, filtering, and component selection, using concrete examples to demonstrate how these work in practice. Consider UPS systems, power supplies with low switching frequencies, motor controls, and equipment operating close to high field strengths.

The lecture provides a clear picture of the challenges and solutions for engineers working in both civil and military environments and shows how to make designs robust and reliable.
