Capabilities

SARA, Inc. has extensive experience with the high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP), electromagnetic environmental effects (E3), and electromagnetic interference (EMI) military standards and handbooks across a range of platforms (ground, airborne, and maritime). SARA provides direct support to DTRA in testing and in development of standards for fixed facilities, ships, and aircraft. These standards and specifications provide the HEMP protected performance criteria which the protected systems are expected to meet. Assessment of low-risk, high-confidence HEMP survivability, based on testing, documentation of hardening, and inspections is described for ground-based systems in MIL-STD-188-125-1 (fixed facility) and MIL-STD-188-125-2 (transportable systems). In addition, SARA possesses design and test experience in HEMP survivability of airborne assets ranging from the 1970’s to the most modern aircraft, the B2, and strategic EW related aircraft.
