EMI & RADIATION DESIGN
Many military, aerospace, and high-reliability industrial systems must operate in harsh electromagnetic and some in radiation environments. Electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic pulse (EMP), lightning, and nuclear radiation effects can disrupt system operation, degrade performance, or cause permanent damage if not properly addressed during design.
Indus provides EMI and Radiation Design services focused on Electromagnetic Environment Effects (EME) and Nuclear Survivability, delivering system-level solutions that balance performance, survivability, and Size, Weight, and Power (SWAP).
Electromagnetic Environment Effects (EME)
Military and industrial systems are often required to meet stringent electromagnetic compatibility requirements to ensure proper operation within their intended environments. Indus supports EMI and EMC design in accordance with MIL-STD-461, addressing radiated and conducted emissions and susceptibility.
Indus also considers the effects of EMP and lightning, as defined by applicable military standards, which can induce severe transients on power and signal lines and generate damaging electromagnetic fields. Effective mitigation requires evaluating conducted and radiated threats collectively and implementing appropriate shielding, filtering, grounding, and transient protection.
Nuclear Survivability and Radiation Effects
Certain systems must also survive nuclear radiation environments. Indus supports mitigation of Transient Radiation Effects (TRE) including prompt dose, total ionizing dose, neutron effects, and single event effects for space and satellite systems.
These effects can result in transient upsets, permanent degradation, or system failure if not properly mitigated. Indus applies a disciplined design approach to ensure systems can operate through, recover from, or survive radiation events while maintaining performance and reliability.
Systems-Based Design Approach
Indus applies a system-level methodology to EMI, EMP, and radiation design. This includes requirements flow-down, identification of critical electronics, evaluation of threat sources, and trade studies to optimize performance, cost, and SWAP.
Design solutions may incorporate shielding effectiveness at the component, subassembly, and enclosure level, along with filtering, transient suppression, redundancy, and software mitigation as required.
Integrated Design and Manufacturing
Indus uniquely integrates electromagnetic and radiation design with mechanical manufacturing. Enclosures and structures are treated as functional elements of the overall mitigation strategy rather than passive housings.
This integrated capability supports efficient transition from design to prototype and production, ensuring shielding concepts are practical, manufacturable, and repeatable.
