EMC Engineering for Resilient Defence Platforms


Modern warfare increasingly depends on control of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) to achieve strategic advantage, protect communications, and ensure mission success. The EMS has become a contested operational domain alongside land, sea, air, cyber, and space. As a result, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is no longer a compliance exercise. It is a mission-critical engineering discipline that underpins system resilience, survivability, and operational effectiveness across today’s defence platforms.


At HORIBA MIRA, we provide specialist defence EMC testing and engineering to help customers de-risk complex programmes and achieve compliance with military EMC standards while designing for real-world electromagnetic warfare (EW) environments.

Defence EMC Testing Beyond Compliance

We support defence OEMs, system integrators, and government organisations to move beyond box-ticking against standards such as:


  • MIL-STD-461 testing

  • DEF STAN 59-411

  • DEF STAN 61-5

  • AECTP-500


Our engineers apply these frameworks within a wider operational context, ensuring your systems are robust against real-world electromagnetic threats, including electromagnetic warfare (EW), cyberEM, and directed energy weapons (DEW).

This enables earlier design decisions, reduced programme risk, and faster route to EMC qualification.
