Gateway Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Requirements

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is essential to the success of any vehicle design that incorporates a complex assortment of electronic, electrical, and electromechanical systems and sub-systems that is expected to meet operational and performance requirements while exposed to a changing set of electromagnetic environments composed of both man-made and naturally occurring threats. The combined aspects of these environments are known as Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3). The attainment of EMC is accomplished through the application of sound engineering principles and practices that enable a complex vehicle or vehicles to operate successfully when exposed to the effects of its expected and/or specified electromagnetic environments.
