Drone Testing

Military Drone Testing

ATS provides military drone testing for UAV compliance using battery, EMI/EMC, and environmental evaluations to MIL‑STD‑810 and MIL‑STD‑461.

What is Military Drone Testing and Why is it Important?

The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) provides military drone testing to ensure your unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) meet compliance and performance standards.

The Department of Defense (DoD) typically requires comprehensive military drone testing to confirm UAV airworthiness and compliance. Drones are tested for battery performance, EMI/EMC, and environmental resilience in accordance with standards such as MIL‑STD‑810 and MIL‑STD‑461.

These evaluations ensure safe, reliable, and effective operation in demanding military environments.

How Our Military Drone Testing Helps Verify Your Drone’s Compliance

Military drone testing is essential for assessing UAV reliability. ATS performs testing in accordance with the following standards:

EMI/EMC Testing (MIL-STD 461)

Electronic devices emit electromagnetic energy that can cause electromagnetic interference (EMI), potentially degrading nearby systems. Drones are particularly susceptible to both external and internal electromagnetic fields, which can affect motor control, sensors, and navigation. Our experts conduct EMI/EMC testing according to MIL-STD-461 methods, including:

  • RE101: Radiated Emissions, magnetic
  • RE102: Radiated Emissions, electric
  • RS101: Radiated Susceptibility, magnetic
  • RS101: Radiated Susceptibility, electric
  • CS101: Conducted Susceptibility, power leads
  • CS114: Conducted Susceptibility, bulk cable injection
  • CS115: Conducted Susceptibility, transient spikes
  • CS116: Conducted Susceptibility, transient spikes
  • CS117: Conducted Susceptibility, unintentional radiator
  • CS118: Conducted Susceptibility, personnel ESD
  • CE101: Conducted Emissions, low frequency
  • CE102: Conducted Emissions, high frequence

Environmental Testing (MIL-STD 810)

Throughout their service lives, UAS systems must withstand a variety of extreme conditions. Environmental Testing to MIL-STD 810 can help determine the system’s resistance to external factors, rough terrain, and harsh climates.

ATS can test using MIL-STD 810 methods, including:

  • Method 500.5 – Altitude or low pressure
  • Method 501.5 – High temperature
  • Method 502.5 – Low temperature
  • Method 503.5 – Temperature shock
  • Method 504.1 – Contamination by fluids
  • Method 505.5 – Sunshine and Solar Radiation
  • Method 506.5 – Rain
  • Method 507.5 – Humidity
  • Method 509.5 – Salt Spray/Salt Fog
  • Method 510.5 – Sand and Dust
  • Method 512.5 – Immersion
  • Method 513.6 – Acceleration
  • Method 514.6 – Vibration
  • Method 516.6 – Shock
  • Method 517.1 – Pyroshock
  • Method 519.6 – Gunfire shock
  • Method 521.3 – Icing/Freezing Rain
  • Method 524.0 – Freeze/Thaw

Battery Testing (UN 38.3 & RTCA DO)

Battery testing determines performance and quality. ATS experts perform environmental, electrical, and mechanical testing on batteries to assess safety and reliability.

Our battery testing standards include:

  • RTCA DO 227 – Non-rechargeable Batteries
  • RTCA DO 293a – NiCd, Ni-MH, Pb Batteries
  • RTCA DO 311a – Rechargeable Batteries
  • UN 38.3 – Lithium-ion Battery Safety
