NCS EMP (National Communications System Electromagnetic Pulse) Mitigation Program: Aerial TI System Test Plan

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA173520 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This program mitigates the damaging effects of nuclear weapons on regional and national telecommunications capabilities. To meet this objective, the OMNCS has sponsored efforts to create a network level model to assess the effects of High-Altitude EMP HEMP. In addition, the OMNCS has sponsored efforts to collect the level HEMP effects to data required to support the network-level model. The products of this model will assist the NCS in identifying potential vulnerabilities of national telecommunications capabilities to HEMP and to support National Security Emergency Preparedness NSEP initiatives.
