Information equipment terminator "electromagnetic security" has been put on the schedule (1)

1. the nickname "the terminator" information equipment

EMP is a transient electromagnetic phenomena, refers to the electromagnetic pulse generated by lightning, electromagnetic pulse generated by switch or high-altitude nuclear bomb blast and electromagnetic pulse generated by electromagnetic pulse.

It has a covered area, a short time, energy and frequency range of characteristics, in a very short time, in the form of electromagnetic waves will be powerful energy transmission to the distance.

Electromagnetic pulse weapons is a strong electromagnetic pulse to destroy incoming missiles, electronic devices and even disrupt human brain nervous system, the temporary loss of consciousness, sometimes referred to as electromagnetic pulse generator.

Electromagnetic pulse weapons usually consists of primary energy, energy conversion devices, RF Pulse generators and transmitting antenna, and several parts.

Electromagnetic pulses can be cable, wire and cable and antenna, coupling, the energy is transferred to the electronic equipment, leading to failure or damage; also enable magnetic memory (cores, magnetic drums, tape, etc.) degaussing or distortion, to erase the memory of the information.

In addition, electromagnetic pulse can also make the aircraft and missiles as metallic Shell to generate a lot of induced current, the current through the aperture of the shell or hatch coupled to the shell, you can make electronic components, circuits and equipment subject to varying degrees.

United States to test shows that the nuclear destruction of electromagnetic pulse to 50 kilometres away there is no protective measures B-1 bombers.

Thus, high energy electromagnetic pulse is a no-compromise "Terminator" information equipment. However, people really understand it and use it as weapon was fortuitous.

2. born in nuclear explosion "mushroom cloud"

Mention "mushroom cloud", people will naturally think of the atomic bomb.

Seen bomb seldom, however, almost everyone has seen the "second atomic bomb explosion", that is the nature of the phenomenon Thunder and lightning and electrostatic discharge.

October 1961, the Soviet Union in the Arctic circle and a new Earth Island over 35 kilometres to hydrogen bomb test.

A violent explosion of nuclear explosion destroyed not only the heart of everything, and also near to many thousands of kilometres of electronic systems have a strong impact. The Soviet air defense radar was burned, unable to detect air targets; thousands of kilometres of communication line breaks, force one hour in a non-conductor.

The following year, the United States in the Pacific, Johnston Island, after the nuclear tests conducted over the distance of 1400 km away on the island of Hawaii Honolulu into chaos.

Anti-theft alarm going on, lights off, power equipment, relay were burnt ... At that time, people are not able to solve the mystery. After several years of research, I found this is nuclear explosions resulting consequences of electromagnetic pulse.

Practice has proved that the destructive power of nuclear EMP. exceptions

In subsequent nuclear tests, electromagnetic pulse energy into electronics, electric power system, the blowing of the cable, burned, the case of electronic equipment are common. Moreover, the high-altitude electromagnetic pulse generated by a nuclear explosion hazard, often better than the ground and underground nuclear explosions, its pulse strength big, wide coverage area. There are records that super high-altitude electromagnetic pulse generated by a nuclear explosion, had made several low-orbit satellites, solar panels and electronic devices, therefore, electromagnetic pulse as anti-satellite weapons.

Because of the role of atmospheric attenuation, high-altitude nuclear explosions resulting heat, shock wave, radiation damage equivalent, may not be as big an electromagnetic pulse effect.

According to estimates, one million tonnes equivalent of nuclear explosion at high altitude, about 35 of energy to go out in the form of radiation of electromagnetic pulse. With the development of nuclear technology, some countries have developed nuclear EMP bomb (E-BOMB) that enhances the effect of electromagnetic pulse, weakened the shock wave and radiation, use than general nuclear weapons more flexible.
