DTB, a prominent testing facility specializing in electromagnetic pulse (EMP) testing offers extensive testing to a range of MIL-STD-461 standards and owns the largest RS105 simulator in any government testing facility in the United States.

DTB's facility can test to MIL-STD-461A, B, C, D, E, F, and G standards. While MIL-STD-461A through F standards are still in use for some legacy equipment, the industry trend is moving towards MIL-STD-461G for new equipment testing.

MIL-STD-461G has become the preferred standard for evaluating equipment and subsystem enclosures when the equipment or subsystem is located externally to a hardened (shielded) platform or facility. It is also applicable for equipment intended solely for use on non-metallic platforms, as well as for Army aircraft's safety-critical equipment and subsystems located in an external installation. This comprehensive testing ensures that military equipment can endure a range of environmental conditions and potential electromagnetic interference.

DTB's EMC testing comprises Conducted Emissions, Conducted Susceptibility, Radiated Emissions, Radiated Susceptibility, Induced Lightning, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), and additional test standards.

While older versions of the MIL-STD-461 standard still play a role in evaluating some legacy equipment, the industry recognizes the significance of the more advanced MIL-STD-461G standard for modern and future equipment. DTB's ability to test to multiple standards reflects its dedication to ensuring the reliability and functionality of a broad spectrum of military equipment, old and new.
