An Overview of the Air Force Intrasystem Analysis Program (IAP).

Alvin L. Hiebert

Expert InsightsPublished 1975

Describes the Air Force Intrasystem Analysis Program (IAP) that is based on R-1114/1 and R-1690/1, to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)--ability of systems to function without undue degradation caused by electromagnetic interference. The IAP will include computer analysis capability for (1) vulnerability assessment, (2) design of specification limits, (3) compatibility and waiver analysis for design tradeoffs, and (4) predicting EMC control effectiveness before construction. The Intrasystem Electromagnetic Compatibility Analysis Program (IEMCAP) includes models of EM generators, receptors, and couplings. The IAP also includes (1) supplemental models for aircraft stores, electroexplosive devices and subsystems, lightning, magnetospheric substorms, and static electricity; (2) nonlinear and EM/near field analysis models for off-line use; (3) instrumentation, test, and measurement support equipment; (4) training courses; (5) validation/implementation; and (6) the Air Force database management. The Office of Primary Responsibility is Headquarters, AFSC (SDDE), and RADC/RBC is the lead laboratory. The contractors, Air Force project offices, and completion status of each IAP component are listed. Research on EM implications of new structural materials is proposed. (Prepared, at the request of Rome Air Development Center/RBC, for presentation at the 1975 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility, San Antonio, October 1975.) 3 pp. Ref.
