Definition of Strategic Electronics

• Strategic Electronics

− Application of the state-of-the-art

technology for designing,

developing and upgrading

mission critical systems

− In Defence,

− Strategic Electronics is

Embedded Intelligence in

Weapon Systems and

associated Support Systems

for all tactical / strategic

applications

Modern Warfare

Strategic Electronics is not about Hardware;

It is Capability & Process


4

Defence Standards

• Military System Engineering Standard Mil-Std-499B and a plethora of

Military Standards covering everything from Earthing Standards Mil-Hdbk-

419A to EMP Hardening Mil-Std-188-125-2

• Environmental Specifications – JSS 55555

– Mil-Std-810F

• EMI/EMC – Mil-Std-461 C/D/E/F

Ruggedisation for Operation in Harsh Environments

7

Ruggedisation for Operations in Harsh Environments

Sr

No.

Parameter Mitigation Techniques

1 Corrosion, mould

growth, contamination

protection,

Humidity protection

i. Proper selection of various materials/processes in the

individual components/assemblies

ii. Coating and encapsulation techniques can also be

employed for components/assemblies.

2 Temperature and

altitude withstanding

capability

i. Proper thermal management techniques. Usage of suitably

designed heat sinks with proper connectivity, force cooling

with fans, and thermo-electric devices. Peltier devices.

3 Drip / Dust proofing

capacity

i. Sealed construction to IP-54 or higher level grade, Gaskets

of various sizes and shapes at the joints, to prevent any

ingress of dust or water into the system

4 Vibration, Shock

Handling i.e., toppling,

dropping and bumping

Acceleration

i. Avoiding cantilevers

ii. Using stiff brackets and damped structure

iii. Using materials with high stiffness to mass ratio

iv. Providing firm anchorage for large masses

v. Providing additional supports for long/flexible members, for

e.g., PCBs to prevent warping and damage due to vibration

vi. Anchoring electrical cable looms and connectors


8

Ruggedisation for Operations in Harsh Environments

Sr

No.

Parameter Mitigation Techniques

1 CE, RE, CS, RS,

Electro Static

Discharge (ESD)

i. Shielding gaskets, special materials such as mu-metal metal

mesh/conducting film embedded in acrylic sheets, filters,

specifically designed to comply with individual system and

subsystem requirements.

EMI/EMC Techniques


9

Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) Hardening

• Why EMP Protection?

– Manmade (EMP Bombs), Natural (Solar Flares)

– 50,000 volts / meter field strength

– Can permanently disable civil/military installations

– Command, Control & Communication failure

• How to protect against EMP?

– Double Skinned Sandwich Enclosures (Faraday cage)

– EMP Filters, Wave guide feed-through

– Improved Shielding, Reinforced paths to GND to steer pulse away from equipment.

– Honeycomb air vents

– EMP Hardened Circuits and Equipment

– Migration to Fiber Optic media

• Trade off

– Increase in Equipment Weight

– Higher Equipment costs

– Higher installation and maintenance Costs


10

Feature Distinction & Reliability

• SWAP (Size, Weight and Power)

– Size & Weight

• Optimisation of Unit size can be achieved the mechanical 3D modeling tools and the

PCB design tools were integrated tightly, such that designs could be moved between

these two diverse environments

• Use of special light-weight, high-strength composites

– Power

• Use of Intelligent Power Management Techniques - Optimise energy consumption

from batteries depending upon the “computing speed” demands (computing speed is

directly proportional to energy consumption) of various applications thus extending

the uninterrupted operational time without a battery re-charge

• Use of Dual hot-swappable Power Modules

• Modular & Scalable Power Systems

• Alternative sources of Power Supplies such as Fuel Cells

• Reliability

– No single point failure

– Graceful degradation

– Structural, Thermal & Circuit Analysis & Validation


Security & Trust

11


12

Security & Trust

• Secure & Trusted Platform for Information Assurance to handle Military

Intelligence

– Presence of a “Kill Switch” (electronic trapdoors) in key military hardware that

can be accessed remotely for destructive purposes is a world-wide fear among

Defence personnel

– EM emissions are “signatures” of equipment and in the case of imported

hardware these EM signatures will be known by enemy forces as the use of

these Hardware platforms will be detected with their unique signatures.

– Mitigation Technique - Minimise the effect of Kill Switch and vary the EM

signatures (akin to Frequency Hopping), thus enhancing the trustworthiness

and security of the platform

– Need for Secure Operating System to control access to hardware and

peripherals
