HEMP Study of Planned DAS3 Configuration.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a preliminary study to determine high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) protection measures required for the Decentralized Automated Service Support System (DAS3). The DAS3 planned configuration examined consists of automatic data processing equipment (ADPE) housed in an XM971 semitrailer van and powered by commercial power or two MEP-005A, 30 kW, 50/60 Hz, 120/208 V generators. The ADPE is commercial, off-the-shelf computer equipment which is, as yet, not fully defined as to manufacturer and specific components. The DAS3 system was examined in order to identify possible or definite weaknesses from an HEMP susceptibility standpoint and to provide recommendations for enhancing the overall HEMP survivability.
