electromagnetics and sensors branch
Overview
c-17 in chamber

The Electromagnetics and Sensors Branch conducts focused and basic research and technology development in electromagnetic (EM) as applied to the design and development of future airborne systems. The ESB also researches airframe (including spaceframe) sensors from phenomenology, through subsystems, prototype development, integration, test, and certification or flight.

The Electromagnetics and Sensors Branch's contributions include Computational Electromagnetic Modeling (CEM), characterization of EM properties of materials, and the measuremtns of EM radiation, field penetration, and scatteing of advanced aerospace vehicle concepts.

The ESB provides new technology to manage the complex EM environment of future aerospace vehicle concepts and ensure the safety and security of aircraft. They develop new concepts and provide the aerospace industry and the FAA the unbiased expertise to assess new technolgy and certification/evaluation techniques. They also assist and provide guidance in the evaluation and the development of new techniques to assess and certify these new technologies.
