Suitability of ARES for Simulating Tactical Burst EMP Environments.
Abstract
The possibility of using the ARES to evaluate source region coupling in tactical systems is discussed. A 'tactical' source region is defined and the environment at the inner edge of this source region is determined for a 50 kt burst at a range of 1.2 km. The time and amplitude characteristics of the ARES pulse are compared with those from the selected environment. Coupling of the ARES and the source region fields into a short monopole antenna and small loop are compared. These objects are representative of those found in tactical systems. Based upon these results suggestions are made for augmenting and supplementing testing in the ARES to obtain responses representative of the source region.
