Trust in Functionality

Usability and Reliability of Devices and Systems

The functionality of technical systems is of crucial importance for any defence activity. Electronic components, sensors, communication systems and integrated overall systems must work reliably even when exposed to extreme environmental and operating conditions. These include ionizing radiation, electromagnetic interference fields, mechanical loads and complex application scenarios.

Seibersdorf Laboratories support the testing and assurance of the usability and application safety of their systems through valid and proven test methods in accordance with international standards.

Our Services

Radiation effects on electronics and crew

In addition to pure component testing, we analyse the effects of radiation on entire systems as well as on crews and operating personnel. These analyses provide a sound basis for technical protective measures and deployment decisions.

Radiation resistance of electronic components

We test electronic components and assemblies for their resistance to ionizing radiation. The aim is to understand the behavior of components under realistic radiation conditions and to identify failure risks at an early stage.

Shielding analyses to protect sensitive electronics

We evaluate shielding concepts to effectively protect sensitive electronics from radiation and electromagnetic effects and to increase system stability.

Interference-free communication between systems

Communication systems must function reliably even in complex electromagnetic environments and high interference fields. We analyse and test systems with regard to immunity and interference.

Validation of EMC measurement equipment and screen rooms

We validate EMC measurement equipment and screen rooms to ensure that measurement results are reproducible, standard-compliant and meaningful.

Use Case

High Radiation Levels

When radiation levels are high, for example after a satellite with a nuclear energy source has crashed or in the event of serious nuclear accidents, it is not possible to directly use humans.

Our Solution

By combining radiation impact analyses, radiation tests and radiationproof system design, we help design systems in such a way that they remain operational even in high-radiation environments or can be operated safely by remote control.

Use Case

Communication Failures in Use

During deployments, even a minor interruption in communication can jeopardize the entire process. Electromagnetic influences between systems lead to failures, delays and incorrect decisions — with potentially critical consequences for the mission.

Our Solution

Seibersdorf Laboratories uses comprehensive EMC tests to ensure that your systems work together without problems. We test according to international military standards such as MIL-STD-461 and support your projects from development to deployment approval — for reliable communication and maximum operational readiness.

Use Case

Unreliable EMC Tests Jeopardize Projects

When EMC tests are performed in unvalidated environments, the results are often unreliable. This can lead to miscalculations, delays in approval and a lack of international recognition — with direct effects on projects and budgets.

Our Solution

Seibersdorf Laboratories validates your anechoic chamber and EMC test rooms in accordance with valid international standards. In addition, we offer practice-oriented training for your testing personnel so that tests are carried out correctly and you can rely on reliable results over the long term. This gives you precise, reproducible measurements — the basis for approval, operational approval and international recognition.

Use Case

Radiation-Related Threats in Space

Satellite missions for military and safety-related applications are threatened by space radiation, particularly during solar storms and sudden radiation events. Electronic components can fail, affecting communication, reconnaissance or navigation systems in use.

Our Solution

With our expertise on space weather events such as solar storms and their radiation damage, we enable risk-based decisions and reduce the probability of infrastructure failure in space.

Use Case

System Reliability in Radiation-Intensive Environments

Critical defence systems and platforms, such as in nuclear power plants, nuclear engines, in space, or in the event of a disaster, may be exposed to ionizing radiation. Without appropriate tests and qualifications, there is a risk of system failure in safety-critical scenarios.

Our Solution

End-to-end testing support, as well as shielding analyses, dose studies, and realistic simulations for space and terrestrial radiation conditions.
