The electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection gasket has become the very “sliver of trust” in both the design and maintenance of weapon system and their platforms alike. Lightweight fabrication with modem composites and the consequential adverse impact on inherent electromagnetic shielding is well recognized. This together with more exacting electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements due to current trends in equipment sensitivity and bandwidth in modem electronics has placed phenomenal dependence upon the long-term, reliable performance of gasketed structures in the severely corrosive marine environment. Methods to conduct these crucial tests are reviewed for both the engineering production and field service environment.
