SARA offers a full range of fixed-facility, transportable systems, aircraft, and surface ship hardening design, manufacturing support, hardness verification testing, and hardness surveillance. We are the one-stop solution for MIL-STD test services providing support through all phases of the life cycle of these critical assets.
Our EMP Survivability and Effects testing team conducts a variety of tests on systems using all several test methodologies listed in MIL-STD including Shielding Effectiveness (SE), Pulse Current Injection (PCI), and Continuous Wave Immersion (CWI). We maintain a set of custom state-of-the-art equipment capable of meeting the military standard test requirements.
SARA’s experts assist our customers in meeting the requirements of HEMP protected C4ISR facilities per MIL-STD-188-125-1A, transportable systems per MIL-STD-188-125-2, aircraft per MIL-STD-3023, and military surface ships per MIL-STD-4023. This includes requirements allocation, vulnerability assessment, design and production guidance, component testing, verification testing, and hardness maintenance and hardness surveillance planning and testing.
