Reducing Risk of ESD Damage in Defence Applications

The constant evolution of warfare tactics and defence technology has led to massive restructuring of radar, telematics, propulsion and other systems used in military and space applications. Compared to earlier versions, the current systems are more compact, refined and demanding. They include highly sophisticated electronics which are smaller and more intricate than ever before. This has made electronic components even more susceptible to ESD damage. During any phase of manufacturing or testing, electro-static accumulated charge can damage and destroy the minute and complex construction of today’s miniature electronic parts.
