MOS Equipment aims to offer extremely high-quality, effective, security solutions for a variety of digital threats and scenarios. The high-level testing conducted was not mandatory or typically sought after for a company specializing in radio frequency (RF) shielding enclosures for law enforcement and forensic investigators. In fact, we are one of the only faraday product manufacturers that have taken advantage of shielding effectiveness testing (or perhaps the only one). We decided to go through this process to gain concrete credibility for our product performance claims and to help our customers understand our general RF shielding capabilities, including shielding against EMPs.

Mission Darkness Products Undergoing Laboratory Testing

Keystone Compliance's shielding effectiveness testing determines the materials ability to reduce the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive and/or magnetic materials. Multiple shielding effectiveness tests were performed to conclude that the Mission Darkness products tested were certified "compliant" for High-Altitude Electromagnetic Protection for Ground Based C4I Facilities. The results ensure that the products surpass military shielding requirements to handle natural or man-made EMPs.

Furthermore, the results are significant because they support the claim that electronic devices will be protected from the detrimental effects of an EMP when shielded inside a Mission Darkness faraday enclosure.

The frequency range investigated and all test results are noted in the report generated by Keystone Compliance.

In the event of an EMP, the burst of energy has the potential to be extremely damaging to electronic devices and critical infrastructure systems. To prevent damages to electronics, the use of a certified faraday enclosure ensures the working integrity by blocking the electromagnetic energy. MOS Equipment products offer a solution to the threat at hand by preserving the working integrity of electronic devices in the event of an EMP or CME, thus decreasing device vulnerability.

The purpose of the executive order issued on March 26, 2019, by Donald J. Trump / The White House, is to protect the United States from an EMP and direct federal agencies to coordinate in assessing, planning, and guarding against its risks from human and natural sources.

The executive order demonstrates that EMP preparedness and protection is a serious concern to our country. Allied agencies must now include EMPs as a factor in defense planning scenarios, thus enforcing the need to use MIL-STD-188-125 compliant shielding enclosures. The only way to know that a RF shielding enclosure will shield against EMPs, outside of usage in a real scenario, is through certified laboratory testing.

The executive order comes at a time when we can substantially support our product capability claims. We can rely on the reports generated by Keystone Compliance, which show the verified RF signal blocking effectiveness of Mission Darkness faraday bags and fabric.

When preparing for a matter as serious as an EMP or related occurrence, its imperative to use trusted and tested protection products for ensuring the working integrity of highly sensitive electronics.
