DO-160G Lightning Induced Transient Susceptibility

Quick Assessment: If your electronic equipment is installed on a platform that may be exposed to lightning environments, and equipment failure would cause safety risks or economic losses, DO-160G Section 22 applies to you.

Applicable Industries:

  1. Aviation field
    • Avionics: Flight control computers, navigation receivers, radar systems
    • Mission systems: Weapon pylons, EO pods, data links
    • Corresponds to MIL-STD-461G CS117
    • Typically requires Performance Category A (no function interruption)
  2. UAV / eVTOL
    • Large industrial drones, logistics drones
    • eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) — mandatory for manned aircraft
    • Recommended test levels: Level 2–4 depending on type
  3. Rail Transit
    • Train control systems: ATP/ATO, signal receivers
    • Traction systems: TCU, auxiliary power
    • High-end projects directly reference DO-160G Section 22
  4. New Energy Vehicles
    • High-voltage systems: MCU, BMS, OBC
    • Autonomous driving sensors: LiDAR, mmWave radar
    • Recommended for 800V platforms and roof-mounted sensors

Key Correspondence: DO-160G Section 22 is highly correlated with MIL-STD-461G CS117 in waveform definitions (Waveform 1–6), injection methods, and test levels.

The only private laboratory in South China with complete DO-160G Section 22 testing capability.
