STANAG 4436 Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Test for Military Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Surface Ship, Non-Metallic Boat)

STANAG 4235, a NATO standardization agreement, describes the electromagnetic compatibility requirements for military electrical and electronic equipment (surface vessels, non-metallic boats) and defines a test method.

The various missions of naval ships and the continuous improvement of warfare techniques and methods, as well as the protection of equipment on board, have increased the number and complexity of various electronic equipment. This equipment causes a continuous increase in the electromagnetic field level on ships. At the international level, the concerns of international maritime organizations remain, stating that increasing the safety of navigation, radar continues to be the main factor for the safety of navigation.

It is important to determine to what extent radars can be installed on a naval ship so that they are not susceptible to electromagnetic interference present in the installation environments and do not cause interference that disrupts other equipment. The first measure in risk assessment is the analysis to be carried out according to radar test standards.

The most important requirement for measurements and electromagnetic compatibility tests is to ensure that they are repeatable. The same test methods should be applied to ensure the repeatability of electromagnetic compatibility tests and also to compare the results obtained. In order to carry out analyzes in accordance with electromagnetic compatibility standards, the test plan should include the following:

• Test procedures applicable to equipment
• Military standards and other documents regulating the acquisition activities of military equipment
• National or international standards for procedures not covered by military standards and documents
• Description of areas where electromagnetic compatibility tests are carried out
• Size and type of grounding plan, grounding and shielding methods of tested equipment to simulate installation location
• Test equipment used (type and name of test equipment and calibration mode, antenna type and antenna factor, current clamps and their transfer impedance, software used, test signal parameters, measurement tolerances)
• Equipment tested (operating modes and frequencies for each test procedure, adjustments to equipment, monitored performance, criteria for determining sensitivity)

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, provides electro-electric and electronic equipment for military electrical and electronic equipment (surface ship, non-metallic boat) within the scope of STANAG 4436 standard. It also provides magnetic compatibility testing services.
