A Study on the Electromagnetic Susceptibility of Improvised Explosive Devices (original) (raw)

This study explores the increasing threat posed by high power electromagnetic (HPEM) systems, particularly in the context of intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) attacks and their impact on critical infrastructure. It reviews the historical background of HPEM since nuclear tests, assesses the characteristics and motivations behind reported IEMI incidents, and discusses lessons learned regarding the recognition and mitigation of such threats. The findings highlight the need for proactive measures to safeguard against the criminal use of advanced electromagnetic technologies.
