Abstract:
An assessment of how military systems behave when exposed to a nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is among the suite of survivability/ vu1nerability/lethality assessment normally performed on systems that must operate in a battlefield environment In the past, a large effort was devoted to the assessment of system-specific components in an EMP environment; this work needs to be unified in a generic methodology that can be applied to all military systems. The proposed methodology is based on the application to the EMP assessment problems of the vulnerability/lethality (V/L) taxonomy (developed by the Army Research Laboratory ARL), which provides a mathematical framework for V/L analyses. In this report, the nuclear EMP V/L taxonomy is presented, with particular focus on the assessment of system components exposed to an EMP- induced transient signal.
