Progress in the Development of HEMP Protection Standards for C3I Facilities
IEEE National Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility
(1989)
Abstract
DoD is involved in EMP standards development efforts which culminate 25 years of research. This paper previews an EMP protection standard for fixed, ground-based communication facilities. The standard uses a low-risk hardening approach which depends on an electromagnetic barrier comprised of a conducting shield to prevent harmful transients from reaching communication electronics. The standard is the first of its kind and is being instituted as MIL-STD-188-125.
