RTCA/DO-160

DTB can test to all of the latest RTCA/DO-160 criteria. RTCA/DO-160 testing covers the standard procedures and environmental test criteria for testing airborne electronic equipment (avionics) for the entire spectrum of aircraft – from light, general aviation aircraft and helicopters, to business jet and VIP aircraft, through regional and commercial aircraft.

We can perform emissions and susceptibility testing up to 40 GHz. Our equipment can also generate radiated susceptibility fields in excess of 200 V/m in the frequency range of 10 kHz-40 GHz.

DTB is A2LA (Cert. No. 0767.02) and NVLAP (Lab Code 200422-0) accredited for MIL-STD-461 testing. We have large semi-anechoic test chambers with high current DC and AC power sources available.
