Easing EM Protection Design Development

Are you looking to reduce EM protection costs ...
and increase system survivability?

Look no further, UEM Design is the answer.

The Unified Electromagnetic (UEM) Design software is a tool for designing systems and techniques to reduce the effects of electromagnetic (EM) environments on systems.

UEM Design allows you to deal with the many diverse types of EM environments and effects using a "unified" approach through our software. Our software package is an comprehensive collection of core design references and recommendations from various EM standards, both military and commercial. In considering EM hardening of a system, the UEM Design software emphasizes an approach that protects against EM fields in general, not hardening for each separate effect, but hardening in a unified manner from all threats.

UEM Design works partially like a textbook, discussing EM effects on systems, and providing computational models to show you how to protect against adverse EM effects. The UEM Design package helps you manage a program to build an EM-hardened system. It provides guidance on what steps are needed in such a process. Its tools help select requirements that will allow the hardened system to be built.

Using the built-in tools, you can modify parameter values to tailor the results to the your cases of interest. Insert your EM design parameters for preliminary evaluation by UEM Design. In many cases, the results are displayed graphically. Designs can be quickly altered and results regenerated without leaving the UEM Design package. While the software does have some computational ability, it does not provide detailed calculations of system responses in an EM environment. This capability will allow you to eliminate impractical designs and focus your efforts on those with genuine promise.

A Single-Source Solution

The software will be useful to anyone interested in the possible adverse effects of electromagnetic environments on a system. This includes natural and man-made EM environments: hostile, essential (i.e., pulses from nearby radar), or inadvertent leakage from other systems or from within your own system. Thus, this includes, for example, system designers, design evaluators, and those responsible for system safety and maintenance.
