Best EMP/HEMP Protection Solutions for Your Equipment
"НEMP is an electromagnetic pulse produced by a nuclear explosion outside the Earth's atmosphere. Usually, at an altitude of more than 30 km".
IEC 61000-5-8 (2009):
"The HEMP is interpreted as a result of a nuclear explosion at an altitude of 100 km and above"
Both definitions in both standards are wrong
The earth's atmosphere does not end at an altitude of 30 km. The troposphere, limited to a height of about 10 km, is followed by a stratosphere (up to 50 km), followed by a mesosphere with an ionosphere (up to 90 km). The boundary between the atmosphere of the Earth and the outer space is the Karman Line. According to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI), the height of this border is 100 km.

HEMP History |

Future conflicts will be won in a new
arena — that of the
electromagnetic spectrum and cyberspace. We must merge, then master those realms.

Our power grid
is very vulnerable. It’s very
much on edge. Our military
knows that.
Ex-Congressmen Roscoe Bartlett |

Our
vulnerability is increasing daily as our use of and
dependence on electronics continues
to grow in both our civil and
military
sectors ...under the Obama
Administration the Department of Energy has been part of the problem,
not part of the solution to protecting the nation’s electric grid from
the existential threat that is
EMP
Dr. William R. Graham, Chairman of
the Commission to Assess the
Threat to the US from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) |

The problem is not the
technology. We know how to protect against it. It’s not the money, it doesn’t cost that
much.The problem is the politics.
It always seems to be the politics that
gets in the way... its potentially paralizing effect on military forces
and civilian crotical infrastructures were deeply understood only bt a
small number of nuclear sreategists and specialists.
Dr. Peter Vincent
Pry, Executive
Director of the Task Force on
National and Homeland Security |

It would be
“suicidally optimistic” to assume that an EMP attack that inflicted a
state-wide blackout would
not also cause cascading grid
and infrastructure failures
at least regionally.
Dr. William Radasky, Founder and President of the Metatech Corporation |

The current state of
EMP protection is random, desoriented and uncoordinated.

American
society has grown so dependent on computer
and other electrical systems that we have Senator from Arizona Jon Llewellyn Kyl |

I don’t think we have an
illusion we will prevent it. That’s really the government’s job

Managing that kind of threat right now-no one really has the resources to do that
Richard Mroz, president of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities

Much
of the available information is not spacially applied to electric
utilities, making it very difficult for utilities and regulators to
understand effective options for protecting energy infrastructure. Robin Manning, Vice president for transmission and distribution for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) |

 |
The potential impacts of
GMD and HEMP are real; however,
evaluating the effects of such events on existing and future power grid
infrastructure is complicated and requires concrete,
scientifically-based
analysis. Once the true impacts are known, including the potential
unintended
consequences of some mitigation options, cost effective
mitigation
and/or recovery options can be developed and employed. |

I don’t mean to be so flippant,
but there really
aren’t any solutions to THIS,
so I would just leave it at that General M. V. Hayden Ex-Director of the National Security Agency (NSA); Ex-Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) |

And
it's not just US Department of Homeland Security that decades treats of
civilian infrastructure with "old snake oil", but also dozens of other not less smart organizations in the United States that not at all against funding their long-playing "study" from the state budget.  |

The time for
research is running out; we have the data we need. It's time for bold actions R. James Woosley, former Director Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) |
| Our goal is: no another "studies", no another theoretical scientific reports in addition to handers of existing! Only practical solutions for actual EMP protection problems! ______________ for officials, managers and technical staff of civil infrastructure facilities |

Vladimir I. Gurevich was born in Kharkov, Ukraine, in 1956. He received an M.S.E.E. degree (1978) at the Kharkov Technical University, named after P. Vasilenko, and a Ph.D. degree (1986) at Kharkov National Polytechnic University. His employment experience includes: teacher, assistant professor and associate professor at Kharkov Technical University, and chief engineer and director of Inventor, Ltd. In 1994, he arrived in Israel and worked during 22 years at Israel Electric Corp. as a Senior specialist and Head of section of the Central Electric Laboratory. Now Dr. V. Gurevich is owner and CEO of “Industrial EMP Solutions” company. Dr.
Gurevich is the author of a new strategy for the protection of civilian
critical infrastructure against EMP and new means of protection. He is the author of more than 200 professional papers and 16 books and holder of nearly 120 patents in the field of electrical engineering, power electronics, EMP protection of critical civilian infrastructures. |
BE CAREFULL!
EMP vulnerability may be an invitation to attack!
