Electromagnetic compatibility is a critical factor in the development of aerospace and defence platforms. Avionics, radar, communications, electronic warfare, and power electronics must operate reliably in increasingly complex electromagnetic environments while meeting stringent military and aviation standards.

This whitepaper explains how EMC simulation helps engineers identify potential issues early, optimise shielding and system design, and prepare efficiently for qualification testing. It also demonstrates how simulation and measurement can be combined to reduce risk, shorten development cycles, and support compliance activities.

In this white paper, you will learn:

• Why EMC is mission-critical for aerospace and defence platforms
• Identifying EMC risks early through simulation
• Practical approaches to EMC design and shielding optimisation
• Preparing for MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464 and DO-160 compliance
• Lightning qualification example using validated simulation models
