The Military Standard (MIL-STD) or Defense Standard was established after WWII to provide uniform requirements and ensure interoperability for the military and its secondary industries, explicitly focusing on engineering and technical requirements, processes, procedures, practices, and methods.
Defense standards resulted from the need for proper performance, maintenance, and repairs.
Military contractors, educational institutions, and other governmental agencies & organizations in the United States must often purchase products that meet standardization objectives set by the U.S. Department of Defense known as the United States Military Test Specifications.
MIL-STDs are maintained by Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC), which is a field activity of the Defense Logistics Agency, whose purpose is to provide logistics and contract management support to the US armed forces.
The DoD develops and procures an incredible amount of material and engineering services through private contractors. MIL-STDs set and communicate standards on how things are to be designed, built, and tested in a controlled, known, and acceptable manner so that all who bid on contracts know exactly what is expected of them, so that they can be successful and competitive.
MIL-STDs are often applicable to industrial and commercial use-cases in which equipment is subject to harsh environmental conditions.
The DoD’s Defense Standardization Program notes that standardization documents also promote commonality and interoperability among military departments and US allies, and limit the different types of equipment in the supply system.
In addition to the MIL-STD designation, some specialized MIL-STDs have been replaced by commercial standards such as IPC standards for PCB design and manufacturing and many other fields of engineering and manufacturing.
MIL-STD-Training Courses by Tonex
Tonex offers nine cutting edge MIL-STD Training courses that are perfect for:
Test engineers
Test technicians and operators
MIL-STD hardware and software design engineers
The source or troubleshoot MIL-STD equipment team personnel
Interpreting MIL-STD data team personnel
Systems engineers
QA engineers
Aircraft personnel
Avionic systems engineers
These hard to come by classes cover MIL-STD regulations as well as standards for environmental conditions and test procedures for airborne equipment and military electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC/EMI) training.
For example, Military EMI/EMC Training is a 3-day comprehensive course that overs the basic math and the physics of EMI/EMC and the fundamentals of instrumentation, instruments, test setups and real measurements.
MIL-PRF-19500 Training is a very popular 2-day course that covers specifications that establishes the general performance requirements for semiconductor devices. Participants learn how the product assurance is provided by effective screening, conformance inspection, and process controls to mitigate risk.
Additionally, attendees learn about MIL-PRF-19500 and how it is applied to discrete components such as MOSFETs and Schottkys.
