As if understanding our astonishment at these professional phrases, Colonel Hoang Minh Quan explained: “Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of equipment, radio equipment systems, Electricity and electronics operate normally in the electromagnetic environment and do not cause interference to other equipment and systems. However, the development of science and technology has increased the level of electromagnetic emissions into the environment, affecting the operation of equipment. Therefore, electromagnetic control in devices becomes an urgent requirement, regulated by international, regional or national standards. The commander of the Center for Quality Assessment checks and exchanges experiences in performing temperature and humidity testing tasks with the center’s officials and engineers (photo taken before April 27, 2021). The fact also shows that the control of electromagnetic compatibility for defense products is increasingly urgent. Therefore, in July 2017, the first and only MIL-STD 461 E/F military standard EMC Laboratory in Vietnam, up to now, was equipped for the Quality Assessment Center, officially. come into operation. Under the management and operation of the Electro-Electronics Quality Control Department, these systems have been tested for many types of VKTB, defense goods products with hundreds of different modules/systems of more than 50 categories, thereby performing well the following roles: Strictly and accurately managing product quality; help manufacturing units perfect products; provide suitable plans for the units in the arrangement and use of equipment. From the results achieved, the center has determined that one of the breakthrough tasks in the coming time is to propose to invest in more equipment to expand the field of EMC testing, ensuring that all testing criteria are met. military standard MIL-STD 461 E/F and cargo testing group 2 specified by specialized ministries for use in the military. With the assigned functions and tasks, over the years, the center has always performed well the task of inspecting, evaluating, assessing and testing the quality of VKTB, products and defense goods. Thereby, the origin, quantity and quality have been clearly identified, helping the units to perform well the management and exploitation work more and more effectively. In 2020, the center has inspected goods for 34 agencies and units, with 75 systems of all kinds, nearly 9,000 equipment, more than 26,000 supplies and spare parts…; also conduct EMC tests, electrical tests, radio tests, temperature tests, humidity tests, vibration shocks, metal composition analysis, tensile tests, material compression tests, non-destructive tests. In order to improve the quality of task performance, the Center for Quality Assessment always attaches great importance to the movement of promoting initiatives and technical improvements with many initiatives winning the Innovative Youth Award in the army. At the Department of Electrical and Electronic Quality Control, a typical unit in the implementation of this movement, a group of officials and engineers are holding hands on a product called “TKN-GDCL-19 watertight test equipment”. Major Nguyen Tat Nam, Head of Electrical-Electronics Quality Control Department, said: “This is the initiative that won the second prize of the Army’s Innovative Youth Award in 2020, which has the effect of testing water tightness for information equipment. for counterfeiters. The advantage of this device compared to previously equipped equipment is that all operating processes are controlled by a computer, which is convenient and gives higher accuracy. The Electro-Electronics Quality Control Department also owns an initiative that won the first prize of the Army’s Creative Youth Award in 2019 and the second prize in the National Technical Innovation Contest in 2020 which is the initiative to measure the frequency hopping speed of the army. frequency hopping radio transmitters used in the military. The initiative not only gives the same accuracy as imported equipment, but also saves billions of dong for the unit. Working at the Department of Quality Assessment of Information Technology (IT), Captain Bui Huu Quan, Technical Assistant is not only responsible for quality assessment of IT equipment, but also conducts environmental testing. From the tests of vibration, temperature, and humidity, he can detect errors early from the sockets, welds, etc., helping the manufacturer to take remedial measures and perfect the product. IT is a rapidly developing field, so the inspection object is upgraded regularly. In order to successfully complete the task, Captain Bui Huu Quan must actively update information related to his specialty, and at the same time research and develop management software to improve the quality of inspection work. Along with the development of the military, inspection products are always diverse in types, technology is increasingly modern and complex. Therefore, the Quality Assessment Center has determined to constantly strive to become the leading inspection facility in the industry, having the facilities and a team of qualified and qualified assessors to perform and complete the tasks comprehensively. assigned.

The commander of the Metrology Center exchanged experiences in testing optical equipment with a team of officials and engineers. (Photo taken on April 21, 2021). After “realizing the market” in a number of departments and divisions of the CLC, we gradually envisioned the mission of the center. Formerly the Center for Calibration and Metrology, established on May 29, 1981, the TTL now has the function of advising and proposing on the implementation of metrological assurance; standard keeping, maintaining traceability, and transmitting metrological standards in the military. It is worth mentioning that metrology is a specific technical specialty, while the military does not have a formal training school for metrology officers and employees. In order to solve this difficulty, the officers and employees of the CLC are given all conditions to study and improve their qualifications, from participating in metrology engineering conversion courses to postgraduate study at technical schools in Vietnam. and outside the military. As a result, up to now, the staff of CLC has more than 90% of university and postgraduate degrees, the proportion of post-graduate accounts for 40%. In addition, over the past 40 years, the center has participated in 37 training courses for metrology engineers at the Military Technical Academy, creating a core force to deploy measurement work in units throughout the army.. . At the Optical Standardization Department, Colonel Pham Chi Trung, Head of the Department shared about the department’s tasks and quality of human resources: “The department’s mission is narrow, specialized, highly dual-use, equipped with equipment. It is modern and meets the development trend of the army. Therefore, according to the general policy of the center, the training and training of human resources is very focused. Currently, more than 70% of the staff of the department. have a master’s degree”. Thanks to high-quality human resources and in-depth investment with hundreds of new standard measurement devices, TTDL has gradually improved its standard capacity and capacity for testing and calibration, including the fields of These areas have been raised to national level, such as: Radio power measurement, pressure measurement, time frequency measurement, optical measurement… In the past 5 years, the center has ensured the connection benchmarking for nearly 50,000 measuring devices of units in the whole army, many of which are difficult and high-precision measuring devices of modern straight forward units; organized more than 250 mobile tests, ensuring standard linkages for more than 3,000 standard samples, high-precision measuring devices for units in the Northern region and some units in the Central and Southern regions. With the motto “Access to the latest technology, directly serving the task of keeping standards and transmitting standards”, over the years, TTG has implemented many scientific topics, tasks, and technical improvement initiatives (Science and Technical Innovation). ) contributes to improving the efficiency and quality of performing the task of ensuring and maintaining standard links for the whole army. In addition, the center has deployed dozens of technical and technical skills every year, effectively applied in the process of performing tasks, with many initiatives winning the National Innovative Youth Award. Referring to the big goals that the center strives to accomplish, Colonel, Dr. Le Duy Quy said: The Center determines to concentrate all resources to successfully implement two breakthroughs: improving the quality of internal training. meet the requirements in the new situation; promote the application of information technology in the task of keeping and transmitting standards, management and administration. In the immediate future, it is necessary to promote research and construction, and propose to equip automatic systems in testing and calibration of measuring instruments; research and apply advanced measurement methods, evaluation and testing methods to new-generation measuring-testing and technical equipment, and at the same time improving next-generation measuring-testing equipment. old, in order to effectively serve the assigned political tasks.
