Status of the Tactical Environment Multiple Systems Evaluation Program (TEMSEP).
Abstract
This report discusses technical progress made under the Tactical Environment Multiple Systems Evaluation Program (TEMSEP). The long and short range goals of the program are presented with particular emphasis on the topics of instrumentation in an ionizing radiation environment, basic phenomena associated with the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generation within the nuclear source region, and laboratory simulation of the electromagnetic environment associated with the nearby (endoatmospheric) detonation of a nuclear weapon. Experiments used the AURORA Flash X-Ray Facility as a radiation source. Notable milestones accomplished were the experimental verification of the existence of the boundary layer phenomenon and verification of electromagnetic coupling models for simple structures.
