High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse Survivability Assessment of the Harris RF-3200 Transceiver.

Abstract

Harry Diamond Laboratories conducted a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) survivability/vulnerability assessment of a high-frequency transceiver system, the Harris Corporation RF-3200 transceiver and ancillary equipment. The non-developmental item and a hardened version of the RF-3200 system were both HEMP simulation tested. External transient protection devices were HEMP hardened at the various system electrical interfaces. The test and analysis results establish the RF-3200 transceiver system survivability when it is exposed to a HEMP threat environment.
