This article aims to present the technical tests of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in an equipment,
minimizing the electromagnetic interference (EMI) in its normal operation for which it was designed,
performed in a military area laboratory, at a development level, according to international technical
standards. This laboratory, which is innovative for the Air Force Command in this type of service provision, was implemented and is undergoing automation with the use of specific softwares, developed to scan the
execution of the frequency range that is repetitive during the processing of certain types of tests required by the technical standard. This laboratory
was created to serve mainly space projects and military aviation systems of the Air Force Command, but this service can be extended to other military aerospace institutions, such as research institutes, and can even attend development projects in the
civil aerospace area. To demonstrate the technical capacity of this innovative and recently implemented
laboratory to provide this type of service at EMC, at a development level and with future expectations for
accreditation by INMETRO, some tests were carried out in a military space design system of aeronautics,
following all levels and standards established and required in a specific international military technical standard, required.
