Manufacturers in the defence sector
Multi-test and multi-regulatory skills for your air, land and naval equipment
The Emitech Group supports players in the defence sector — contractors, systems integrators and equipment manufacturers — in the qualification of their military and dual-use equipment.
Our expertise covers EMC, climatic, mechanical, fire and radio frequency testing, as well as cybersecurity, digital simulation and the design of specific test benches, and the optimisation of motorisation systems.
Our multi-site laboratories faithfully reproduce the most demanding operational environments, while integrating civil (CE, RED, etc.) and military (MIL-STD, STANAG, DEF-STAN, etc.) standards.
Our scope of application
- Air: UAVs, pods, on-board sensors, cockpit equipment, guided weapons,
- Land: armoured vehicles, turrets, electronic cabinets, operational stations,
- Naval: communication systems, on-board electronics, control cabinets,
- Dual-use applications: products for civil and defence use, such as communications equipment, sensor platforms or critical on-board systems.
Applicable standards and specifications
- MIL-STD-810, 461, 1275, 704, etc. (US DoD),
- STANAG (NATO), DEF-STAN (UK),
- EN 2591, EN 60068-x, EN 60529 (IP), etc.
- Requirements of RED, ECM and BT directives for dual systems (CE marking).
