I have had a fair amount of experience in making sure that military systems can meet the MIL-STD-461 RS103 requirement of 200 V/M. However, we are now seeing system requirements for levels from MIL-STD-464 (and other places). These new requirements invoke immunity to levels such as 8 GHz to 10 GHz at 21,000 V/M (peak pulse). I would like to get an idea of the amount of risk involved in going to that next level. Has anyone had any experiences with meeting the 461 200 V/M and then trying for the 464 levels? Does equipment that meets 461 usually meet those 464 levels? If not, what kind of failures do you see (cable arcing, internal component destruction)? Thanks in advance!
