Missile's Guidance Head Anti-Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse Reinforcement,

Abstract

In the nuclear weapon family, following A-bombs and H-bombs, some countries developed and produced some other kinds of nuclear weapons, the nuclear electromagnetic pulse bomb is one of them. This kind of nuclear bomb is mainly used to interfere or damage un-reinforced electric and electronic systems. Un reinforced missile guidance heads also could be damaged. So, this paper simply introduces the generation and main characteristics of the nuclear electromagnetic pulse, the damaging mechanism of the nuclear electromagnetic pulse to the guidance head, and the response of electronic devices to the nuclear electromagnetic pulse, at last introduces the guidance heads defense method to the nuclear electromagnetic pulse.
