Concern for the immunity of aircraft electrical and electronic systems when exposed to high intensity radiated fields (HIRF), has increased with the growing reliance on these systems and the possibly reduced shielding afforded by the composite materials now used in advanced aircraft design. Following on from an earlier seminar the conference looked at the impact of the forthcoming requirements being formulated by the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) in parallel with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which will address the concern. The report commences with an overview of the regulatory requirements by the Civil Aviation Authority. The papers cover; the development of airworthiness requirements, definition of the worldwide rf environment, the options for demonstrating compliance (with reference to the User's Guide under preparation), practical design considerations: modelling and analysis, equipment design protection and test procedures, the design of protection for systems, aircraft and systems test procedures and finally post-certification issues.
