ASSESSMENT SERVICES IS PERFORMING electromagnetic compatibility tests on an actuator unit on behalf of UK ejection-seat manufacturer Martin-Baker. The actuator, destined for use on Dassault's Rafale fighter aircraft, is designed to ensure that the pilot is correctly positioned in the cockpit for optimum use of the aircraft's systems and displays. The tests are being carried out by Fareham, Hampshire-based Assessment Services to determine whether the actuator is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and whether the unit's own emissions will affect other aircraft systems.
