  1. ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMBAN ARSENAL OF ELECTRICAL MASS ANNIHILATION from: ADITYA GUPTA E.C. 07ELDCE005

  2. INTRODUCTION TO ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMB • WHAT IS AN E-BOMB? E-BOMB overwhelms electrical circuitry with intense electromagnetic field. • ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE THEORY: EMPs produced by nuclear weapons with ever diminishing intensity, have changing magnetic fields which couple with electrical circuitry to produce damge currents/voltage surges.

  3. TECHNOLOGY BEHIND E-BOMB • FLUX COMPRESSION GENERATOR(FCG) is the most important and the fundamental method used for such arsenal.

  4. FCG E-BOMB : DESIGN • Consists : Metal cylinder (called the armature), surrounded by a coil of wire (the stator winding). The armature cylinder is filled with high explosive, and a sturdy jacket surrounds the entire device.

  5. The stator winding and the armature cylinder are separated by empty space or insulator. The bomb also has a power source, such as a bank of capacitors, which is connected to the stator.

  6. OPERATION OF E-BOMB Events series when the bomb goes off: • Capacitors connects to Stator  sets electrical current through wires  Generates Intense Magnetic Field. • Fuze mechanism ignites the explosive material  Explosion travels as wave through the middle of the armature cylinder.

  7. Explosion passes through cylinder  Cylinder comes in • contact with stator winding  creates a short circuit  • cuts the stator off from its power supply. • Moving short circuit compresses Magnetic Field  • generates Intense Electromagnetic burst.

  8. LETHALITY OF E-BOMB • DAMAGE ON ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENTS Intense electromagnetic pulse corrupts computer data powerful bursts would completely fry electric and electronic equipment. • E-BOMB COULD NEUTRALIZE Vehicle control systems, targeting systems, communications systems, navigation systems, long and short-range sensor systems • EFFECT ON HUMAN BEINGS Use Of Pacemaker Or Any Other Electronic Implant. • COLLATERAL DAMAGES

  9. PROTECTION/DEFENCE AGAINST ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMB • FARADAY CAGE • E-BUNKERS • SITE HARDENING • USE OF MOTOR POWER ISOLATORS FOR MAINS POWER DISTRIBUTION • DESTROY THE DELIEVERY VEHICLE OR LAUNCH PLATFORM • ELECTROMAGNETICALLY HARDEN IMPORTANT ASSETS • HIDE IMPORTANT ASSETS

  10. Vulnerability Reduction (Hardening): • Convert computer rooms in to Faraday cages • Use optical fibres for data • Isolate power feeds with transient arrestors • Use non-electrical power feed schemes • Use electromagnetic “air lock” • Shielding must be comprehensive

  11. LIMITATIONS OF E-BOMB • WEAPON IMPLEMENTATION • MEANS OF DELIVERY • KILL ASSESSMENT

  12. Conclusions: • E-bomb is a WEMD • High payoff in using E-bombs against fundamental infrastructure, resulting in substantial paralysis • E-bombs will become a decisive capability in Strategic Warfare and Electronic Combat • E-bombs are a non-lethal weapon • The critical issues for the next decade are the deployment of E-bombs and the hardening of fundamental infrastructure
