The Electromagnetic Bomb
• - E-Bombs are weapons of electrical mass destruction…
- Can damage wide range of electrical & electronics equipments i.e. computers, radios, radar, wires or PCBs etc.
-they use of non-nuclear confrontation.
- using principle of EMP effect.
- It has combination of both electric and magnetic fields.
- emp device can render the electronics equipments.
INTRODUCTION
History
• First observed during the early testing of high altitude airburst nuclear weapons.
• Then FCG is built and tested in US, and then in USSR
• And more recently in CIS.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
• Work on principle of EMP method
• EMP stands for: Electromagnetic Pulses.
• They very strong pulses.
• They has short lived transient voltages of thousands of volts.
• its effects on the circuitry of other semiconductor electronics equipments (i.e. MOS).
• Due to over power the device damages.
• All types of receivers and communication equipments are highly vulnerable.
Concept of EMP
• It is an electromagnetic pulse.
• Produces a powerful electromagnetic fields (i.e. in kilovolts).
• Due to powerful fields it cause wide damage of electronics appliances.
• The EMP is in effect an electromagnetic shock wave.
Technology based for E-bomb
• It is based on Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator.
Introduction to Flux Compression Generator
• It is a type of generator for producing EMP.
• It is the most mature technology applicable to bomb.
• FCG is a device capable of producing electrical energies of about tens of Mega joules in ten to hundreds of microseconds.
• It has peak power kevels of the order of Terawatts to tens of Terawatts.
Working of FCG
• Producing a pulse of electric current of order of ten of kilo Amperes to Mega Amperes.
• It has cylindrical copper tubes of armature.
• This tube is filled with a fast high energy explosive.
• Armature is surrounded by a helical coil of heavy wire.
• Which forms the FCG stator.
• The start current is supplied by an external current source. Such as a high voltage capacitor bank.
• So by this a intense magnetic field is produced during this operation.
• So in this method using a fast explosive into the magnetic field.
• Figure explanation
• E-bomb warhead
Targeting E-Bomb
• The task of identifying targets for attack with E-Bomb is complex.
• Targets which can be readily identified through conventional photographic, satellite, image radar and human operation.
• These targets are typically geographically fixed and thus may de attacked providing that aircraft can penetrate to weapon release range.
• For accuracy GPS/initially guided weapons can be used.
• Lethal footprint of a E-Bomb
• GPS guided bomb
Advantages of E-bomb
• Permanent damages the electrical appliances such as computers and micro processor devices.
• Easy to diffuse or to destroy the missiles.
• Destroys the communication system.
• It can even stop working of generator or cars.
• Easy to handle and target.
Limitation
• It must be noted that thermionic technology i.e. vacuumed tube equipment is substantially more resilient to the electromagnetic weapons.
• So no damages to the thermionic technology devices.
