Power Solutions for Missile Defense & Navigation Systems

Power & EMI Solutions for Missile Defense and Navigation Systems

 Missile defense and navigation systems demand absolute reliability under extreme environmental and electromagnetic conditions, spanning applications such as integrated air and missile defense (IAMD), missile guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) electronics, ground-based interceptors and launch platforms, mobile missile defense units and shelters, navigation systems across land, sea, and airborne platforms, and radar command and control nodes supporting missile defense operations. Across these mission-critical platforms, power integrity and EMI control are foundational to performance, survivability, and mission success, driving the need for rugged, production-ready power conversion, EMI filtering, and power distribution solutions engineered to meet stringent MIL-STD requirements and accelerate deployment for defense programs worldwide.
 

Power & EMI Challenges in Missile Defense

Missile defense and navigation platforms operate in harsh, high-noise environments with rapidly increasing levels of compute, sensing, and networked communications, creating demanding power and EMI challenges that include managing high transient loads and maintaining power stability for guidance electronics, mitigating EMI susceptibility in dense RF and sensor-rich environment, ensuring power quality under MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-1399, and MIL-STD-704 conditions, surviving shock, vibration, temperature extremes, and environmental contamination, and supporting rapid fielding and production ramp requirements without compromising reliability or performance.
