Learn about rugged enclosure design for mission critical environments at 28 Oct. webinar discussion

NASHUA, N.H. - Military + Aerospace Electronics cordially invites you to a round table discussion with industry experts who will unpack what it takes to design rugged, reliable enclosures for real-world applications. This free event, which  takes place at 2 p.m. on 28 October 2025, is sponored by Optima Stantron, an Elma Electronic company. 

Gone are the days when electronics stayed in clean, temperature-controlled rooms. Today’s systems face shock, heat, vibration, and isolation - and the cabinets that protect them must rise to the challenge. In this panel discussion, Elma Electronic engineers will cover topics like environmental and EMI standards (MIL-DTL-901E, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461), modular aluminum construction, EMI shielding, and advanced thermal management.

Attendees will learn how to select and specify cabinets that deliver structural integrity, future-ready modularity, and mission reliability across defense, aerospace, and industrial applications. The discussion includes case examples from radar systems, ground shelters, and unmanned platforms.

Your questions answered

A live Q&A session will follow the presentation, with engineering support from Elma/Optima Stantron experts available to address detailed questions. Expert insights will come from Cameron Thomas, mechanical design engineer, and Michael Robitaille, regional sales and enclosure subject matter expert.

Thomas is a Mechanical Design Engineer at Elma Electronic, focused on complex cabinet and enclosure design. After completing his BS ME at Vanderbilt University, he joined Elma in his first engineering role—continuing a family connection to the company. 

Robitaille has been working in the enclosure industry for over 30 years, serving as a design specialist to help customers solve complex packaging and thermal challenges. As a result of his longevity in the industry, he has become a subject matter expert in collaborating with and delivering consultative solutions that meet and exceed program requirements.
