Selecting a sensor for harsh environments is not a catalog decision. Vibration, moisture, extreme temperatures, and EMI directly impact measurement reliability. This guide explains how to choose sensors that maintain stable performance in demanding real-world conditions
Military vehicle power busses are far from stable DC sources. Engine start events, load dump surges, ground shifts, and electromagnetic noise create a hostile electrical environment that can disrupt sensitive electronics even when power converters meet MIL-STD requirements.
This article explains why compliant power supplies alone do not guarantee survivability, reveals the hidden causes behind field failures such as system resets and sensor instability, and outlines the power integrity strategies required to ensure reliable operation in mission-critical platforms.
