Communication facility EMP assessment. Topical report, 1 September 1975-30 March 1979

Technical Report · Fri Mar 30 04:00:00 EST 1979

OSTI ID:5752908

A scenario variant EMP assessment was performed for the facility. The EMP assessment considered the equipment effects induced by EMP environments generated by high-altitude nuclear detonations. The scenario-variant technique identifies the critical electrical/electronic equipment predicted to be impaired by the largest signals induced within the facility by any high-altitude nuclear EMP environment. Electromagnetic pulse hardening is recommended to insure that all critical equipments will maintain their operational capabilities during and after an EMP illumination of the facility. Hardening design packages are provided such that, if implemented, the functional capabilities of the facility will survive the most severe high-altitude EMP.
