1. Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP): Generation and Threat Assesment Presentation by Deep Amin (17BEE016) Kartikeya Mishra (17BEE032) Dhwanil Mody (17BEE043 )

2. Introduction An  electromagnetic pulse  ( EMP ), is a short burst of electromagnetic energy. EMP interference is generally disruptive or damaging to electronic equipment, and at higher energy levels a powerful EMP event such as a lightning strike can damage physical objects such as buildings and aircraft structures.

3. Here is what an EMP attack may look like

4. How an EMP is generated

5. High Altitude EMP amplification

6. HAEMP Range

7. Source Region EMP (SREMP)

8. Repercussions of SREMP

9. Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) IEMI is defined as “intentional malicious generation of electromagnetic energy introducing noise or signals into electric and electronic systems, thus disrupting, confusing or damaging these systems for terrorist or criminal purposes.”7 In general, IEMI is generated by a high power generator that can be hidden in a truck, aircraft, ship, backpack, or suitcase. This weapon could be used to shut down the electronics associated with critical infrastructure, such as a communications site, data center, power substation, or headquarters location.

10. EMP PROTECTION AND RESILIENCE CONSIDERATIONS Unplugging equipment reduces system vulnerabilities. Use a power surge protector device (SPD) that provides fire protection Use heavy-duty aluminum foil or inexpensive Faraday bags/cases. Ensure your backup generation system is not directly connected to commercial power (unless it has very good EMP surge protection on the connecting line). Use battery operated AM/FM/NOAA radios to receive alerts Use of EMP-rated surge arresters on power cords and phone/data cables
