ABSTRACT
High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power
Microwave technology have matured to the point where practical E-bombs (Electromagnetic
bombs) are becoming technically feasible, with new applications in both Strategic
and Tactical Information Warfare. The development of conventional E-bomb devices
allows their use in non-nuclear confrontations. This paper discusses aspects of the technology
base, weapon delivery techniques and proposes a doctrinal foundation for the use
of such devices in warhead and bomb applications.
