Lightning testing encompasses the simulation and measurement of direct and indirect lightning strike effects on aircraft structures, systems, and components in accordance with DO-160, MIL-STD-461, and SAE ARP standards, employing high-voltage impulse generators, current injection rigs, and swept-stroke techniques to validate transient protection, bonding continuity, and electromagnetic hardness across airframes, avionics, and fuel systems.
