Title: Electromagnetic Compatibility: The Program Manager's Considerations.
Abstract: Abstract : Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electromagnetic (EM) systems to operate in their intended environment without causing unacceptable degradation due to unwanted radiation or response. The program manager developing an EM system must be aware of EMC policies, requirements and planning techniques. This study project included research of current Federal, DoD and service policies and interviews with members of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Analysis Center (ECAC), Annapolis, MD. The requirement for early consideration of EMC in system planning is a recurring theme throughout the literature surveyed. A current EMC planning technique for managers is the development of an EMC Life Cycle System Management Model which identifies EMC actions and decisions required of a program manager during system acquisition. The three fundamental EMC planning factors of system technical characteristics, environmental geometry, and frequency assignments are described. These planning factors form the basis for trade-offs by the program manager to achieve EMC. Technical assistance for EMC is available from ECAC. (Author)
