HIRF Synthetic Environment: An innovative approach for HIRF design, analysis and certification of aircraft and rotorcraft

HIRF SE (High Intensity Radiated Fields Synthetic Environment) is a computational tool for the simulation and analysis of electromagnetic field interaction with aircraft and rotorcraft in HIRF radio frequency range (10 kHz-40 GHz). The tool allows the simulation of air vehicle interaction with both far-field and near-field sources having any polarization and position in the presence or not of the ground, and it will be applied during design and certification phases in order to cope with the increasing complexity of air vehicles electronic/electric architectures and of the electromagnetic environment. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme [FP7/2007-2013] under grant agreement no. 205294.
