N2 - The Electromagnetic environment in which air vehicles have to operate is becoming increasingly complex with developing threats arising outside the air vehicle and the demand from passengers to operate increasing numbers of diverse personal electronic devices within the cabin in flight. Modern airframe design is also exploiting new developments in materials and structures to construct ever more efficient air vehicles that impacts on the electromagnetic performance of the vehicle. The recently started High Intensity Radiated Field Synthetic Environment (HIRF SE) project has the goal of providing the European aeronautics industry with a computational framework which can be used in the development phase to enable electromagnetic aspects of the airframe design to be accounted for at an early stage of the design process. Currently much of this work has to be done at the test phase, risking considerable re-work costs if problems arise. It is expected that the application of the HIRF SE framework will thus confer a substantial economic benefit and in addition it will provide a considerable reduction in the certification and qualification tests required on an air vehicle.
