The need to shield equipment and communication systems from external interference is becoming more and more important as the world becomes increasingly digital. One of the biggest threats to electronic appliances is a literal short burst, less than 1 sec of electromagnetic energy called an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). This type of microwave energy can easily disrupt or fry the electronic circuitry if exposed to its external source. EMP immunity testing (for defense, aerospace, telecommunications, and energy infrastructure) has recently become an urgent requirement.
Retlif Testing Laboratories in Ronkonkoma, Long Island, New York, is at the forefront of EMP testing and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) services with new state-of-the-art capabilities. Their test capacities for EMP are among the largest and best-equipped in the world. Much mission-critical electronic equipment complies with HEMP: high-altitude EMP, intentional EMI (electromagnetic interference), and pulse threats.
What is EMP testing?
EMP test: An EMP electromagnetic pulse is a burst ...
... of electromagnetic radiation that can disrupt or damage electronic components and devices. Such pulses would emanate either sporadically from nature, e.g., solar flares, or artificially, such as from nuclear explosions or directed-energy weapons. The trials UP these pulse phenomena in a simulated environment for equipment hardening and armor AVI shielding assessment.
Testing typically includes:
● High-altitude EMP (HEMP) simulation
● Transient electromagnetic field exposure
● Shielding effectiveness analysis
● Pulse current injection tests
● MIL-STD-461 and RS105 compliance evaluations
Failure is not an option, after all, when the shit is mission-critical. That’s why practically every industry is testing its infrastructure against EMP attacks to determine whether it would survive a real-world threat.
Why choose Retlif to test for EMP?

EMP testing Ronkonkoma: A smart and safe choice
Retlif provides quality electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), lightning, environmental simulation, and flight testing to companies throughout the United States and internationally, with its main facilities in Ronkonkoma, New York. It’s not just a good spot to design and prototype cryptography gear, but its reputation for discretion makes it an attractive place for the government as well as private manufacturers and contractors.
Final thoughts
An EMP could be devastating, crippling critical infrastructure, disrupting communication, and putting the nation’s security at risk. Testing isn’t a compliance issue; it’s resiliency we are trying to ensure.
At the Ronkonkoma lab of Relief’s EMP Testing, today's electromagnetic challenges are answered so that your systems can be ruggedized against present and future threats. For additional information, please visit Retlif EMC Testing.
