Electromagnetic pulses (EMP) are powerful bursts of energy that can be released after a nuclear explosion or a powerful natural solar phenomenon. These pulses can cause electronic devices to cease functioning, making them a serious threat to military systems. To protect against EMPs, metal sheets and conductive paints can be used to shield larger areas or entire buildings. Additionally, emerging technologies such as electrically conductive concretes are gaining attention, though the cost must be weighed against the desired level of protection.
The world's first electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection technology for the entire electrical system of a vehicle has been tested in a Department of Defense (DOD) approved test center. The EMPShield is designed to exceed military standards and is one of the fastest surge protection devices available. It utilizes three incredible technologies and an advanced patent-pending design to operate at incredible speeds and protect against more than 40 EMP attacks without degradation. The first technology uses gases with a radioactive charge and is capable of emitting the first electrical shocks in five hundred trillionths of a second.
The EMP Shield then transmits a high-intensity electrical current to the ground in one billionth of a second, designed to protect the vehicle from multiple high-level exposures to an EMP using advanced load sharing technology. It is so rugged that it is designed to protect against more than 100,000 amps. The device protects all electronic components inside the vehicle in less than a billionth of a second and continuously maintains a constant voltage level in the vehicle system until the excess charge is completely ejected from the vehicle's electrical system. This protects not only when heating food, but also provides some protection to the electronic devices placed inside them when an EMP attack occurs.
An EMP attack can cause certain electronic components, machines, and generator controls to stop working temporarily or permanently. In the event of an EMP attack, officials would look for ways to keep equipment safe. Frank Cilluffo, director of the McCrary Institute for Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure at Auburn University, said that while an electromagnetic attack would certainly be devastating, it's unlikely that America's enemies would carry out such a blatant attack. An EMP usually attacks solid-state electronics, so items that work with an electronic circuit will stop working.
To protect military systems from an EMP attack, metal sheets and conductive paints can be used to shield larger areas or entire buildings. Additionally, emerging technologies such as electrically conductive concretes are gaining attention as they offer increased protection at a higher cost. The world's first electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection technology for the entire electrical system of a vehicle has also been tested in a Department of Defense (DOD) approved test center. The EMPShield is proven to exceed military standards and is one of the fastest surge protection devices available.
In conclusion, protecting military systems from an EMP attack requires careful consideration of cost versus desired level of protection. Metal sheets and conductive paints can be used to shield larger areas or entire buildings while emerging technologies such as electrically conductive concretes offer increased protection at a higher cost. Additionally, the world's first electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protection technology for the entire electrical system of a vehicle has been tested in a Department of Defense (DOD) approved test center and is proven to exceed military standards.
