ECAC - An Overview

The Electromagnetic Compatibility Analysis Center (ECAC) is a Department of Defense (DoD), facility located at Annapolis, Maryland serving the Military Services and other agencies of DoD. ECAC was established on July 19, 1960, as a major part of the Department of Defense attack on the operational and developmental aspects of the radio frequency compatibility problem. ECAC is the only functional analysis center in the free world devoted primarily to the inter-system and system-to-environment electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problem and, as such, it provides the U.S. Government, through the DoD, with a significant advantage in developing and deploying complex systems.
