Experienced Military EMC Testing Lab

For 30 years, GME has been offering electronic-product manufacturers compliance testing to military standards. At GME, we offer quality testing alongside personalized service, creating positive long-term relationships with clients. Careful time and attention are taken to work with customers that experience Electromagnetic Interference in products.

The following method is used to perform tests on military equipment: Department of Defense Interface Standard MIL-STD-461G, Requirements for the Control of Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and Equipment.

Some of the more common tests performed under MIL-STD-461G include, but are not limited to:

  • Radiated Emissions (RE101/RE102)
  • Conducted Emissions (CE101/CE102)
  • Radiated Susceptibility (RS101/RS103)
  • Conducted Susceptibility (CS101/CS106/CS114)

Frequently Asked Questions

Military EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing ensures that electronic equipment meets stringent U.S. Department of Defense electromagnetic emission and susceptibility requirements so that systems operate reliably in complex electromagnetic environments without interfering with other devices.

Common tests include:

  • Radiated Emissions (RE101/RE102)

  • Conducted Emissions (CE101/CE102)

  • Radiated Susceptibility (RS101/RS103)

  • Conducted Susceptibility (CS101/CS106/CS114)

These verify that equipment does not generate excessive EMI and that it resists external EMI sources. The technical requirements and costs associated with these tests can vary widely based on service branch (Army, Navy, Air Force) and platform (Ground, Ships Above Decks, Space etc)

Products that may require military EMC testing include:

  • Communications equipment

  • Tactical electronics

  • Navigation and guidance systems

  • Radar and sensor systems

  • Vehicle and platform subsystems

Any complex electronic device intended for military use may need this testing.

To begin, we typically need:

  • Product design files and specifications

  • Power and interface details

  • Draft user guides or operation descriptions

  • Test plans containing intended service branch and platform

This lets us determine the applicable tests and prepare an accurate quote.

Yes — in addition to MIL-STD-461G testing, we can assist with test planning and pre-compliance assessments to help reduce risk and prevent delays in your project.
Our lab performs testing to MIL-STD-461G, the current Department of Defense standard that sets limits and test procedures for controlling electromagnetic interference (EMI) characteristics of military subsystems and equipment. Tests can be performed to older versions of the standard if contractually applicable.

Military systems often operate in challenging environments with intense electromagnetic activity. EMC testing verifies that your product:

  • Functions reliably without unintended interference

  • Does not disrupt other systems

  • Meets procurement requirements for defense contracts and deployment readiness

Actual timelines vary by product complexity and test scope. Projects commonly take multiple weeks due to the depth and breadth of military test requirements. Early design reviews and pre-compliance evaluations can help streamline the final testing schedule.
If your product does not pass on the first try, we can help diagnose the root cause and recommend design mitigations or shielding improvements. Iterative testing and refinement are common in military EMC compliance pathways.
