At Riverbend Energetics, environmental testing is a critical step in our validation process for ensuring every energetic device we produce can withstand the extreme conditions of modern military environments. Our test regimens simulate the full range of operational and storage scenarios, pushing each component to its design limits before it ever enters the field. In conducting rigorous environmental screening, we are able to identify potential failure modes and verify that every product we deliver meets the reliability thresholds demanded by the Department of Defense.

How Is Environmental Testing Used?
Our Environmental Test Capabilities
Our Environmental Test Capabilities
- Thermal cycling to validate performance across extreme temperature ranges
- Humidity and salt fog testing for corrosion and moisture resistance
- Vibration and mechanical shock testing to simulate transport and launch conditions
- Altitude and pressure simulation for air-delivered and high-altitude applications
- Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) to detect latent defects in early production phases
Environmental Testing for Aerospace and Defense Industries
Environmental Testing for Aerospace and Defense Industries
Our environmental testing program adheres to key industry and defense specifications, including MIL-STD-810 environmental testing standards, where we evaluate the hardware’s ability to withstand extreme conditions ranging from temperature fluctuations to vibrations and shocks. Additionally, our MIL-SPEC environmental testing ensures compliance with critical military specifications. In following these standards, we ensure our components are qualified for use across multiple mission-critical platforms.
Applications
- Electric detonators and primers
- Cartridge and propellant actuated devices (CADs/PADs)
- Delay columns
- Rocket motor initiators
- Fuze train subassemblies for mortar and artillery systems
