About EMP (What is EMP?)
“Electromagnetic pulses create a powerful electromagnetic field capable of short-circuiting a wide range of Electronic Equipment.”
TARGETS OF EMP :
• HEMP: High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse, created by a high-altitude nuclear device detonated in a space above 30km or above (maximum 50kV/m)
• HPEM: High power Electromagnetic – represent an emerging threat that could disrupt nodes, it is easily be created and concealed in a delivery van, a briefcase, or even a backpack (under 25kV/m)
• LEMP: Natural EMP event include – Lightning, Solar wind (maximum 25kV/m)
TARGETS OF EMP
• Telecommunication Systems
• National Power Grid
• Finance and Banking Systems
• National Transporting Systems
• Mass Media
• Buildings and Housings
• Government Offices
• Production Facilities
• Military Bases, Radar Sites and
Communications Nodes
POTENTIAL THREAT OF EMP
“EMP would almost certainly shut down an entire interconnected electrical power system, all in an instant…”
THREAT OF EMP
• Blacking-out large portions of its electric grid and other critical infrastructures.
• EMP events threaten business as we know it by causing unrecoverable damage to data
centers serving financial, public utility, and IT markets, among others
• Solar superstorms can generate natural EMP over remarkably wide areas
• Several Countries now have the capability to conduct a nuclear EMP attack against their
hostile countries.
EMP PROTECTION PLANNING
Room Type Protection
Modular room with prefabricated 1- 2mm steel plate elements which are collected an assembled on site with EMP gaskets between all elements. This type gives very high attenuation and shielding effectiveness; typical 80dB@18GHz
Cabinet Type Protection
Rugged high performance steel racks with knife/copper EMP-gasket in the door. This type is normally also supplied with cable filters (Power and Communication) in addition to the standard equipment like honeycombs. Typical shielding effectiveness is 50~80dB@18GHz
EMP PROTECT SOLUTION
(Cabinet Type)
EMP protection cabinets exceeds the EMP shielding requirements identified in MILSTD-188-125-1 (9kHz – 1GHz : 80dB Satisfied). The cabinets are designed to meet the specific operational and dimensional needs of the user
