MIL-STD-461G为控制电子、电气和机电设备及子系统的电磁干扰（EMI）发射和敏感性特性制定了接口和相关验证要求，这些设备和子系统是为国防部（DoD）的活动和机构设计或采购的。此类设备和子系统可单独使用，或作为其他子系统或系统的组成部分使用。本标准最适用于具有以下特征的项目:不大于设备机架的电子外壳、外壳之间的电气互连（即离散线束）以及从主要电源获得的电力输入。本标准不应直接适用于电子外壳或整个平台内的模块等项目。 本标准中的原则可作为为这些应用制定适当要求的基础。还包括数据项要求。

MIL-STD-461G establishes interface and associated verification requirements for the control of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) emission and susceptibility characteristics of electronic, electrical, and electromechanical equipment and subsystems designed or procured for use by activities and agencies of the Department of Defense (DoD). Such equipment and subsystems may be used independently or as an integral part of other subsystems or systems. This standard is best suited for items that have the following features: electronic enclosures that are no larger than an equipment rack, electrical interconnections that are discrete wiring harnesses between enclosures, and electrical power input derived from prime power sources. This standard should not be directly applied to items such as modules located inside electronic enclosures or entire platforms. The principles in this standard may be useful as a basis for developing suitable requirements for those applications. Data item requirements are also included.
