MIL-STD-461

MIL-STD-461 is a U.S. military standard that establishes requirements for controlling electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electronic equipment. Essentially, it ensures that devices can operate effectively in the challenging electromagnetic environment often encountered in military operations. The standard outlines specific tests to measure a device’s susceptibility to interference and its emissions, ensuring that it doesn’t disrupt other equipment. By adhering to MIL-STD-461, manufacturers help guarantee that their products will perform reliably in critical situations, contributing to the overall safety and effectiveness of military operations.
