ABSOLUTE EMC
Jeff Alderfer
NEMP & Pulsed Power Test Systems: Safeguarding Against the Invisible Threat
Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (NEMP) events pose a significant threat to the resilience and operational continuity of critical infrastructure, defense systems, and advanced electronics. NEMP test systems are designed to simulate these high-intensity, short-duration electromagnetic disturbances in a controlled environment, enabling engineers to evaluate system robustness, identify vulnerabilities, and implement effective hardening strategies.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Jeff Alderfer is North American Sales Manager at Absolute EMC. Jeff has over 30 years of experience in the RF/Microwave, HPA, and EMC industries.

TELSPAN
Chris Lloyd
Any Ethernet over PCM Telemetry Utilizing IRIG 106 Chapter 7
IRIG 106 Chapter 7 gateways occupy a critical position in the telemetry chain, sitting between instrumentation systems, Ethernet networks, and telemetry transmitters. Utilizing advanced FPGA processing, these units function as bi-directional translators, acting as both Ethernet-to-telemetry encoders and telemetry-to-Ethernet decoders.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Chris Lloyd has 25 years of experience in Aerospace and Defense Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E), with the last 10 years specifically supporting Flight Test Telemetry applications.
