Environmental Protection- An Engineered Solution for Electronic and Mechanical Assemblies PRS Proprietary
Situational Awareness and Threat Environments • Todays “in-theatre” shipboard needs demand C5ISR Systems to be fully operational 100% of the time. • Complicating these needs are: Asymmetrical threats, High demand mission cycle times with limited intervals for maintenance and support activities, evolving environmental conditions and COTS/RoHS products in use for Military applications. • Reality is that C5ISR systems are expected to operate in real time “come as you are” status with 100% reliability regardless of threat or environmental conditions. • Given the varying and dynamic nature of Mission requirements, growing complexity of electronic systems and the need to operate in smaller packages in increasingly hostile environments, electronics must be ruggedized at the component and PCB level. PRS Proprietary
Response/Engineering Solutions • The Security services of the U.S. have been mandated to use COTS componentry in all electronic (including C5ISR) systems. • The reliability and certainty of mission success may be put in jeopardy as COTS products were never intended for military application or environments. • Couple this with RoHS/lead free material and reliability of system performance (and thus Mission effectivity) may be subject to further degradation. • To better insure survivability and performance any PCB’s (and probably some mechanical product) associated with Communications, EW, Fire Control and any other Mission critical electronics must be coated or encapsulated with mil-rated materials. PRS Proprietary
Forward Looking Proactive Action • To insure mission success from the outset it is necessary to spec into any RFQ or RFI an environmental requirement so that the design integrates an environmental solution with the overall system. • Too many times a design passes a well thought out Qualification testing process only to find out in the LRIP or Preproduction phase that tin whiskers or corrosion or an EMI/RFI issue has arisen that was unaccounted for. • Plasma Ruggedized Solutions has worked with various A&D Tier 1 and Tier 2 firms for more than 23 years creating lifecycle cost-savings applications to insure high MTBF mission critical performance. • Featuring more than 2.5K types of coatings and encapsulates PRS engineering designs and creates custom ruggedized solutions for specific threat environments. • In the following set of charts we will discuss engineered approaches for dealing with various threat environments that electronic and mechanical systems face in theater.

Potting & Encapsulation Potting / Encapsulation is the process used to protect “ruggedize” electronics. Potting provides protection from extreme environments, against shock and vibration, ensures security of sensitive designs, as well as creates a barrier against moisture, fungus, dust, and corrosion. Potting can also enhance circuit reliability by reducing leakage from high voltage circuits, protecting against voltage arcs and short circuits and by preventing the formation of “tin whiskers.” Potting or Encapsulating a circuit can make it Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant. Because Potting and Encapsulating encloses the entire assembly, the assembly is protected from unauthorized entry, modification and reverse engineering. PRS Proprietary
Security Programs FIPS Compliant PRS Proprietary
Material Development - Kryptos • Plasma Ruggedized Solutions recently began developing new materials in-house for our conformal coating, potting, encapsulating, and other processes. Certain applications can be carried out perfectly with standard materials, but others require something more specialized. Our materials development processes give us a unique ability to create the perfect/tailored material to match your project's exact specifications. • The KRYPTOS™ product line is highly adaptable, of which KRYPTOS-17™ is a filled, RoHS compliant, medium viscosity, self-extinguishing flame retardant, low stress, thermally conductive epoxy casting resin system. • This material is UL 94V0 ratedand was designed to meet the physical security requirements of FIPS 140-2, and FIPS140-3 for an encapsulating material. • The materials inherent nature offers excellentTin-whisker mitigation properties. It provides very good resistance to water, salt spray, inorganic acids, bases and most organic solvents. • The material is intended for use in both indoor and outdoor environments. PRS Proprietary

EMI RFI Shielding PRS Proprietary
Conductive Coatings • Coatings are typically applied to hardware or electronics through spray application or CNC dispensing. • Excellent EMI RFI shielding • High Attenuation • Adaptable material properties PRS Proprietary
EMI RFI Shielding • Other solutions apply a conductive coating over the CCA itself effectively creating a Faraday Cage around the CCA eliminating the need for an enclosure. (This requires a pre-coating to seal the assembly and prevent shorts.) • Wrapping an assembly in a conductive material and then potting around it also creates the RF barrier and provides structural support as well. PRS Proprietary
FIPG (Form-In-Place Gasket) • FORM-IN-PLACE conductive gaskets offer effective EMI RFI shielding, ESD control and environmental seal. • Multi-Axis CNC dispensing for precise, repeatable, high reliability sealing. • Capable of mitigating Internally or Externally radiated interference. • Can be applied to nearly all conductive surfaces where a seal is required including conductive coated or metallized composites.
