The current state of methods of testing and assessing hardness of products of electronic component base to the effect of ionizing space radiation in regards to dose effects is seen into. A number of peculiarities and issues of concern in this area is brought out: independent simulation of ionizing and structure dose effects; availability of various methods of accelerated tests, considering low-intensity radiation effects, showing different results; the absence of methods of determinative tests, considering joint action of ionizing and structure effects; the possibility of non-additive nature of interaction of ionizing and structure effects, which isn’t taken into consideration by the existing methodological support of the tests. Furthermore, some topical issues are reviewed in relation to the applicability of the electronic component base compliance assessment based on test results of the equipment units, as well as an analytical assessment of the electronic component base compliance with the preset requirements on hardness.

A methodology of testing electronic products for pulse dielectric strength is proposed, which allows reducing significantly the required number of electronic products for testing, and the volume of measurements of their parameters during tests.

The article presents the research results of SRAM microcircuit reaction under combined impact of voltage pulses and stationary stream of 14 MeV neutrons. It is shown that the cross-section of single event upsets in a memory chip, caused by neutron exposure, depends on the frequency of voltage pulse feed and temperature of samples.

A way of solving the task of offshore area monitoring using a group of unmanned undersea vehicles (UUV) is reviewed. In order to determine life limit of radiation-hard UUV equipment amid the search of deviations there were tests of the main representatives of the UUV equipment conducted to assess the level of hardness to special factor effect. An UUV life limit estimating framework has been built due to the limit level obtained, the maximum time has been forecasted for the equipment to be fraught with the search of radioactive anomalies, and the impact of the radiation load level on equipment life reduction has been determined.

The results of the measurements of the exposure dose rate in predesigned areas of the gamma unit chamber, gained during primary qualification, are presented. Additionally, the calculation results of the energy spectra of photons and the distribution of exposure dose rate are presented. Numerical simulation has been conducted by the Monte Carlo method in the 3D-simulator, recognizing realistic geometry of the unit. One can observe a good fit of calculation results with experimental data.
