Session Abstract
Successful NATO operations involve the military forces of many nations, and interoperability is essential for their success. This interoperability is underpinned by standardisation across all facets of the alliance, including technical standards covering electromagnetic environmental effects (E3).
Electromagnetic compatibility plays a key role in ensuring that military equipment, systems, and platforms are not degraded by detrimental electromagnetic environmental effects which may be encountered during service – often long periods of time and exposure to severe environments.
The NATO Allied Environmental Conditions and Tests Publications (AECTP) series define the operational environments in which NATO defence materiel must be designed to function, and provide detailed test requirements to ensure that equipment, systems and platforms can meet their performance requirements while operating in these environments.
This tutorial aims to give the audience an overview of the current NATO E3 standards, how they have evolved over time to the point at which we now find them, and how they are used by nations to successfully build interoperability within the alliance.
