Electronic Magnetic Interference Test for US Navy’s UCLASS Aircraft 10 Times That of Manned Aircraft
Most aircraft slated to go onto aircraft carriers have to go through an electronic magnetic interference test that bathes the design in about 200 volts per meter.
But the test platform for the Navy’s unmanned carrier-launched airborne surveillance and strike (Uclass) aircraft programme, will have to endure 10 times the electronic stress.
An X-47B test aircraft is being prepared for its move into the anechoic chamber at NAS Patuxent River, Md. It must be able to survive and operate in an environment of a stunning 2,000 volts per meter.
Undoubtedly that means the Navy wants a design for its unmanned carrier-launched airborne surveillance and strike (UCLASS) aircraft program that would be able to fire a permanently installed, rechargeable, anti-electronics weapon. Such a high-power microwave device could be used at close range against enemy systems – such as sophisticated, long-range air defenses – without damaging the UCLASS system’s own electronics.
