Category Archives: Product Testing for Environmental Effects

The field of environmental and electromagnetic testing is critical in ensuring the reliability, durability, and safety of systems and equipment in demanding conditions, especially for military and aerospace applications. The MIL-STD-810H standard, which outlines environmental testing processes, plays a key role in testing the resilience of avionics systems to environmental effects. MIL-STD-810H Training and Tailoring Methodology for MIL-STD-810 offer a comprehensive understanding of how to adapt tests for specific project needs, a process known as "tailoring." This ensures that tests simulate real-life conditions, making them more relevant and cost-effective. For engineers and project managers responsible for military platforms such as Askeri Gemi (military ships) or other Military Platforms, training in MIL-STD-810H is essential to grasp the methodologies for environmental testing and the Life Cycle Environmental Profile (LCEP). Understanding the Mission Profile is equally vital, as it outlines the expected operating conditions a system will encounter, forming the basis for relevant environmental tests. Alongside environmental testing, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are critical to ensuring that systems can operate without unwanted interference. Training on MIL-STD-461G and MIL-STD-464D Platform Requirements provides crucial insights into EMI/EMC standards for military and avionics systems. In particular, MIL-STD-461G Training and Training on EMI/EMC Testing equip engineers to meet strict compliance requirements that prevent EMI issues, a vital step in the overall Test Management and Environmental Test Management process. Given the complexity and breadth of these standards, GDS Engineering R&D offers a robust Systems Engineering Training Program led by experts like Burak Çavuşoğlu, Ismail Cicek, and Dr. Cicek, with specialized modules on RTCA-DO-160G Training. This training focuses on RTCA DO-160, a widely recognized standard for aircraft environmental testing, covering various Test Sections like Power Input and aircraft electrical interface requirements as defined in MIL-STD-704. GDS Engineering's courses emphasize best practices in tailoring, test planning, and consultancy on Environmental Test Management, ensuring that participants are well-prepared to lead and manage the environmental test sequence effectively. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Online Training Programs have become essential for continued learning, providing flexibility for international trainees to access high-quality International Training on MIL-STD and RTCA standards from anywhere. These programs are ideal for both individual engineers seeking career advancement and organizations aiming to build in-house expertise. For those working on military platforms and avionics systems, understanding and applying standards like MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461G, and RTCA DO-160 are vital for robust system design. GDS Engineering’s comprehensive training programs, enhanced by the expertise of seasoned professionals, provide foundational knowledge, advanced methodologies, and Consultancy on Test Management that enables teams to achieve high levels of compliance and operational reliability across military and aviation industries. These programs empower engineers to navigate environmental effects and EMI/EMC requirements, essential for the rigorous demands of military and aerospace applications.

How to Find any US Military Standard Document

Posted on by

Assist QuickSearch is a powerful online search tool specifically designed to help users quickly locate and access DoD and military standards, specifications, handbooks, and related documents. It provides a user-friendly interface and advanced search functionalities to streamline the process of finding the exact information needed.  

The ASSIST database is the official source for specifications and standards used by the US Department of Defense. Indexed documents include current and historical military and federal standards and specifications. The ASSIST document database houses over 180,000 PDF files associated with about 82,000 of the approximately 111,000 indexed documents. (Updates vary)

Few examples are:

  • MIL-STD-810H
  • MIL-STD-461G
  • MIL-STD-1553C

What is the website address?

US DOD provides with a tool called ASSIST QUICK SEARCH for searching for any of the US military standards. ASSIST website has the historic versions of the standards. All can be downloaded free of charge.

ASSIST QUICKSEARCH Tool:

https://quicksearch.dla.mil/qsSearch.aspx is the link for Assist website quick search tool.

Why US DOD does not charge fee for standards?

US DOD assumes that the cost of the effort for developing standards is met with the tax dollars paid by the people. That is probably the reason why these products are free for anyone. The intended audience therefor is probably the US people.

How to Use Assist QuickSearch for Finding Military Standards:

  1. Access the Assist QuickSearch website: Start by navigating to the Assist QuickSearch website.
  2. Enter your search terms: Use keywords, document numbers (e.g., MIL-STD-810, ASME Y14.5), or titles to search for the specific standard you need. You can also use advanced search operators to refine your search.  
  3. Filter your results: Assist QuickSearch allows you to filter your search results by document type, date, and other criteria to narrow down the results.  
  4. View and download: Once you’ve located the desired standard, you can view it online or download it in various formats, such as PDF.  

Benefits of Using Assist QuickSearch:

  • Comprehensive Database: Assist QuickSearch provides access to a vast and up-to-date repository of military and DoD standards.  
  • Time-Saving: It eliminates the need to sift through numerous websites and databases, saving valuable time and effort.
  • User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive interface makes it easy for anyone to use, regardless of their technical expertise.
  • Accurate Results: Assist QuickSearch ensures that you access the most current and accurate versions of the documents.  

Beyond QuickSearch:

While Assist QuickSearch is a valuable resource, it’s worth noting that some standards might require purchase or specific access permissions. In such cases, Assist QuickSearch often provides links to the relevant sources or vendors.

By leveraging Assist QuickSearch, engineers, researchers, contractors, and anyone working with military or DoD standards can efficiently find the information they need to ensure compliance and successful project execution.
