MIL-STD-810 for military power supplies – a guide to Vibration, Shock, extreme temperatures and Conduction Cooling, including mechanical and thermal design, Baseplate considerations, Derating, and the relationship with MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-704 and MIL-STD-461.
MIL-STD-461 defines EMI and EMC requirements for military equipment, including CS101 for evaluating susceptibility to disturbances conducted through power leads. This article explains the challenges of designing Input Filters and Power Front Ends, their relationship to MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-704, and how EMC performance can be balanced with size, weight, and efficiency constraints.
MIL-STD-704 defines the electrical power environment for military aircraft. Learn how to select Power Supplies and DC-DC Converters for airborne systems, including transients, surges, voltage dips, power interruptions, Hold-Up requirements, and the relationship between MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-1275.
A practical guide to MIL-STD-1275 and the selection of power supplies and DC-DC Converters for military 28VDC vehicle systems. Learn why an 18-36VDC input range alone does not ensure suitability for the MIL-STD-1275 environment, and how to address Transients, Surges, voltage drops, and input protection requirements.
A practical guide to military power supplies and DC-DC converters for defense and aerospace applications. Learn how MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810 affect power supply design, including surge and transient protection, EMI/EMC filtering, thermal management, SWaP and environmental requirements.
How do you know if a liquid cooling system is really working as designed? From AI Data Centers to Radar, EW and Power Electronics, pressure monitoring can reveal changes inside the cooling circuit before temperature alone tells the full story. Discover how Variohm Pressure Sensors and Combined Pressure + Temperature Transducers can support smarter cooling system monitoring, condition monitoring and system protection.
A Tactical Grade IMU is tested when real-world conditions stop behaving like the lab. Explore how bias, bandwidth, latency, vibration, temperature, GNSS loss and sensor trust determine whether a Tactical IMU is truly right for the mission.
How can you operate an electrical system without bringing electricity to the point of operation? Discover how Herga Air, Pressure and Vacuum Switches use simple pneumatic signals to reduce wiring, separate user controls from electronics and provide reliable ON/OFF pressure or vacuum detection.
An autonomous combat aircraft is not simply a fighter with the pilot removed. From Tactical IMUs and GNSS-denied navigation to position feedback, temperature sensing, power monitoring and Edge AI, discover how the aircraft’s “nervous system” provides the reliable real-time data required for autonomy, fault detection and mission-aware decision-making.
Hydrogen presents unique challenges for pressure measurement – from material compatibility and Hydrogen Embrittlement to high operating pressures and demanding environmental conditions. This article explains how to select a pressure sensor for hydrogen systems, the differences between Nominal Pressure, Overpressure, and Burst Pressure, and how the EPT92H2 with EC79 and EC406 approvals supports hydrogen applications up to 1,000 bar.
