Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons, known as the "second atomic bomb", the world's military powers, EMP weapons began to move towards the practical implementation of electronic information systems and command and control systems and networks pose a great threat? Conventional EMP bombs have exploded, and nuclear EMP bombs - "the second atomic bomb" is approaching mankind?
Electromagnetic pulse, is a short transient electromagnetic phenomenon, it is in the form of space radiation propagation, through electromagnetic waves, can be electronic? Information? Electricity? Optical? Microwave and other facilities to cause damage to the semiconductor insulation layer of electronic equipment or integrated circuits burned, or even equipment failure or permanent damage?
"Second atomic bomb" explosion is the natural phenomenon of lightning and static electricity? Lightning? Electrostatic formation of electromagnetic radiation and the sun? Interstellar electromagnetic radiation as well as the Earth's magnetic field and the electromagnetic field in the atmosphere, the resulting explosion is only a difference in size, the principle is the same? In addition, the explosion of the "second atomic bomb" there are man-made phenomena, that is, man-made sources of electromagnetic radiation electromagnetic radiation?
With the development of science and technology, society as a whole, a large number of popularized electrical equipment, such as television transmitters? Radio transmitter? Radio stations? Aviation navigation systems? Radar system? Mobile communication system? High-voltage power transmission systems? High-current industrial frequency equipment and light rail? Mainline electrified railroad systems, etc.?
In short, all electromagnetic energy applications to work in industry?
Modern battlefield electromagnetic environment is a variety of electromagnetic energy **** with the role of the composite environment, both natural electromagnetic interference sources, such as lightning? Static electricity, etc., but also a strong man-made sources of interference, such as a variety of power radar? Radio communication? Navigation? Computer and its counter electronic warfare equipment? New concept of electromagnetic weapons, etc.? Therefore, the battlefield electromagnetic environment is much more complex than usual, high-tech conditions of the battlefield electromagnetic environment mainly consists of various types of electromagnetic pulse fields?
Nuclear electromagnetic pulse is a nuclear explosion produced by strong electromagnetic radiation, nuclear electromagnetic pulse is very destructive? Some countries in the nuclear test, nuclear EMP energy into the electronic? Power system, burned off the cable? Burned electronic equipment is not uncommon? High-altitude nuclear explosions generated by the electromagnetic pulse harm, than the ground and underground nuclear explosions, nuclear electromagnetic pulse intensity? Covering a wide area?
Because of atmospheric attenuation, the heat generated by high-altitude nuclear explosions? Shock wave? radiation and other effects on the ground facilities of the hazardous range are not as large as the electromagnetic pulse effect, 1 million tons of equivalent nuclear weapons in the high-altitude explosion, the total energy of about three ten thousandths of the electromagnetic pulse in the form of radiation out?
With the development of nuclear technology, developed countries have developed a nuclear EMP bomb, enhance the EMP effect, and weaken the shock wave? Nuclear radiation effects, the destructive power of the electromagnetic pulse increased significantly?
