Assessing the US's Current Ability to Understand and Test EMP Effects on Systems

The book examines the resurgence of nuclear warfare concerns in the U.S. military, particularly focusing on the threat of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effects following a nuclear explosion. Highlighting the military's dependency on advanced electronic systems, it discusses the need for a comprehensive understanding of EMP formation and propagation. By improving this knowledge, the military can enhance the design and resilience of its systems against EMP threats in a cost-effective manner. The work also offers recommendations for future programs to address these challenges.
