Developing technical solutions for the defence sector requires access to advanced testing environments and accredited methods, as well as independent verification. Without verification against military requirements, a product will not progress in the procurement process, regardless of how well it is designed. For companies without their own testing capacity, access to the right infrastructure often determines whether a technical solution can be realised.
RISE offers independent testing and verification against military requirements, providing support from early component verification to system-level testing. We verify that technical solutions work and meet the stringent requirements of the military environment. These tests are carried out in one of our 120+ specialised technical infrastructures and test environments. As a government body with no supplier interests, we provide objective documentation that can withstand scrutiny during review, procurement and export.
RISE's services cover the entire spectrum of the Swedish Armed Forces' priority areas. If your technical solution contributes to situational awareness, protection against airborne threats, maritime control or robust logistics, RISE has the testing infrastructure and expertise to verify that it meets military needs and requirements.
- Improved and sustainable situational awareness – characterisation and verification of sensor systems based on MEMS, fibre optics and electromagnetic technologies; EMC testing for defence electronics; and verification of positioning and navigation solutions.
- Air and Missile Defence and Drone Protection – Verification of electronics and sensor systems, accredited EMC testing to military standards, environmental and mechanical durability testing, and functional safety and cybersecurity testing for autonomous systems.
- Testing in the Baltic Sea – Hydrodynamic testing in a ship model flume, cavitation tunnel and wave laboratory at the SSPA Maritime Centre - Corrosion testing in Atlantic seawater - EMC testing and functional safety assessment for marine products
- Long-range combat: dynamic testing including impact, explosive loads and ballistics; fire testing up to 15 MW; and calibration of dynamic pressure transducers at the national testing facility — one of only two such facilities in the world.
- Critical infrastructure protection – security testing via Cyber Range; accredited functional safety assessment; and physical protection against explosions, ballistic threats, and intrusion.
- Robust logistics and sustainable platforms – including climatic and mechanical testing, reliability and service life analysis, composite material characterisation, and corrosion protection – backed by over 50 years of experience.
This is how it works:
1. Get in touch. Briefly describe your technical solution and the military requirement it addresses. We will then identify the relevant test environments and services.
2. Requirements analysis and test plan. We draw up a detailed proposal setting out what is to be tested, the standards against which it is to be tested, and the associated costs.
3. Quotation. You will receive a quotation from RISE for the proposed work.
4. Implementation. We carry out testing and can provide accredited reports that are valid for procurement and export purposes.
How we work with small and medium-sized enterprises
Military certification often involves several types of testing across a range of different areas of expertise. With RISE's comprehensive range of services, you can consolidate multiple testing and verification stages with a single partner, providing you with a single point of contact and coordinated documentation. We can tailor testing programmes to your requirements, standards and schedule, whether you need an individual analysis or a complete verification programme.
Frequently asked questions
What does 'accredited testing and verification against military requirements' mean?
Accredited testing and verification means that the testing is carried out in accordance with recognised standards by a formally approved, competent laboratory. RISE conducts testing and verification in over 120 specialised testing environments and can issue accredited reports accepted for defence procurement and export.
How long does it take to validate a technical solution against military requirements at RISE?
Lead times vary depending on the type of test and the complexity of the system. RISE starts by carrying out a free requirements analysis, after which a detailed test plan, timetable and quotation are usually drawn up within a few working days of initial contact.
Can a small business without its own testing infrastructure commission RISE to carry out military-grade verification?
Yes. RISE regularly works with small and medium-sized enterprises that lack in-house testing capacity. It offers a coordinated verification programme, consolidating various types of testing with a single partner and providing a single point of contact and comprehensive documentation.
What military standards and requirements can RISE verify compliance with?
RISE verifies technical solutions against a wide range of military requirements, including electromagnetic compatibility, climatic and mechanical endurance, cybersecurity, functional safety, ballistics, and hydrodynamics. Relevant standards and test procedures are established in consultation with customers, based on the priority areas of need of the Swedish Armed Forces.
