scope:

The intent of this handbook is to provide guidance and establish a uniform approach protection of military electronics from the adverse effects of the electro magnetic environment. The handbook is applicable to any electrical and electronic equipment, subsystem or system which may be exposed to an electromagnetic environment during its life cycle, including the following:

a. Aerospace and weapons systems and associated subsystems and equipments.

b. Ordnance.

c. Support and checkout equipment and instruments for (a) and (b) above

Purpose. This handbook provides:

a. Information on the electromagnetic environment for consideration in the design and procurement of new systems, subsystems and equipments which may be exposed to electromagnetic radiation environment levels during their life cycle.

b. Information for use in tailoring the radiated susceptibility requirement RS03 of MIL-STD-461 and the requirements of MIL-E-6051, and to supplement the requirements of MIL-STD-1385 and MIL-STD-1512 to ensure adequate consideration of the electro-magnetic environment during equipment and system design.
