List of references

This guide identifies design and development practice that should optimize airframe and system protection, and minimize the cost, weight and volume penalties of providing protection.

This Part of this British Standard provides guidance on the design features of airframes and system installations necessary to achieve an acceptable level of EMH protection in a hostile EM environment.
