The acronym EMP stands for electromagnetic pulse. Traces of this electromagnetic pulse were first discovered with the detonation of high yield conventional weapons. But it wasnt until the first Atomic Bomb test in July of 1945 that the effects of a large EMP burst was seriously considered. Those who worked on the Manhattan Project for the then top secret U.S. atomic weapons program were duly informed of this possibility.

Further testing of high altitude nuclear explosions in the 1950s then confirmed what researchers had long suspected all along. And it was determined that the electromagnetic pulse of a strong enough nuclear grade weapon could potentially knock out the power grid of a substantially large region, potentially even an entire nation.

But not only would an EMP knock out the standard power structure it would also fry just about any electronic device within its reach! This means that in the immediate aftermath your car wouldnt start, your cell phone wont work, and all other electronic devices and appliances in your home would be completely fried and useless. This is how a frightening new possibility of warfare known as EMP had been discovered.

As damaging as EMP weapons can be to civil infrastructure, since they are generally non-lethal in nature, their application can be very tempting to state actors. These weapons allow for a significant disruption of an enemys capabilities without the moral baggage of being responsible for massive civilian casualties. But a truly nefarious nation could potentially use these EMP weapons in a variety of ways to maximize casualties and destruction. This chapter explores all of the possible applications of weapons grade EMP.

Electro magnetic pulse generators are still in development but if completed these highly focused, powerful weapons could potentially utilize microwave energy to create a massive and narrowly focused pulse that would be devastating both on the battle field and in the civilian theatre.

Tested with devastating success, HEMP refers to an instance of detonating a powerful nuclear weapon high in the atmosphere, in order to send out intense electro magnetic fields over a wide area of land below. The electromagnetic pulse created from just one instance of HEMP would be enough to fry almost all of the electronics in a large area. The wave of this pulse could potentially take out radio towers, and most power lines and cables. A HEMP weapon would also interact directly with the Earths magnetic field, and utilize gamma rays to increase the power of the electromagnetic pulse.

Nuclear electro magnetic pulse weapons are the standard weapons application of EMP that occurs as a direct result of a regular nuclear bomb blast. This is the general side effect of any nuclear blast but is particularly classified as such when it is intentionally use in this fashion.

So called E-Bombs are highly efficient non-nuclear bombs that can unleash an intense magnetic field. These highly specialized weapons could be potentially produced so small that they could be fitted inside a suitcase. It is said that these weapons may be highly effective on the battlefield against specific military targets but would not pose that much of a threat to larger civilian infrastructure.

Described by the wavelength of their electromagnetic power, microwaves are used for a wide variety of applications from everything from radar to the microwave oven in your office that pops your popcorn. But HPMs or high power microwaves are on a whole other scale when it comes to the level of energy that is being produced.

In recent years many strides have been made to focus these HPMs into an EMP inducing weapon. By using something called a flux compressor these High Power Microwave Weapons can produce an incredibly formidable electromagnetic pulse that could wipe out any electrical equipment in its path. Even traditionally hardened and shielded devices are still affected by the penetrating wavelengths of High Power Microwave Weapons.

Remember when your mom told you not to stand in front of the microwave? Well there is a reason for that, because microwaves are able to permeate just about every surface, but unlike your relatively harmless microwave oven, a powerful HPM could wreak untold havoc.

The ground zero of an EMP attack is certainly quite different from the ground zero of a nuclear or even conventional explosion. You wont find buildings shelled to their foundation or dead bodies smoldering in the street. The effects of an EMP are invisible and they only affect machinery, not biological material such as human beings consist of! In this chapter we will guide you through just what you might expect to find at the epicenter; ground zero of an EMP attack!

The calm quiet of the aftermath of an EMP burst is one of the first standout features of such an attack. Imagine sitting down in your living room during a typical afternoon with TV blaring the news, dishwasher whirring through the latest round of dishes, your kids blaring music down the hall, and your next door neighbor cutting grass with the roar of a lawn mower. But in a split second, suddenly everything stops, no more TV, no more dishwasher, no more music, and even the lawnmower; inexplicably go quiet.

At first you think there must have been a local power outage; a simple enough explanation right? You instinctively reach for your phone to dial up your local power company, but you find the screen blank and lifeless.

You stare in disbelief thinking, Didnt I just charge my phone? What is going on here? Unable to call out for help you decide to take a step outdoors. But as you step outside and greet your neighbor whose gas powered lawn mower strangely conked out right when your power went out, the two of you turn to see another neighbors car slowly skidding to a halt at the end of the street.
