Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Survivability of Telecommunications Assets
Abstract
This report focuses on the estimation of the effects of EMP on selected telecommunications assets. The list of critical assets identified in previous reports is refined to reflect the propose NETS network designs. The threat considered for the EMP effects evaluation if the 50 kV/m double exponential description of the early time portion of the high altitude EMP (HEMP) pulse which represents the most significant EMP threat to telecommunications assets. Intermediate time EMP and magnetohydrodynamic EMP (MHD EMP) effects are not explicitly evaluated in this report. This report is also limited to typical installations of the selected assets; although versions of some equipment that have been explicitly hardened against EMP effects exist, these versions are not considered for this analysis.
