Electromagnetic Environmental Effects in the Military
Military electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a matter of life
and death as modern war-fighters rely on the safe, secure and
reliable functioning of their devices. Military EMC includes
aspects of electronic interoperability that are seldom or never
considered in the commercial realm. This talk presents
technical details of EMC consideration in tactical and strategic
military operations. The topics discussed include hazards of
electromagnetic radiation to ordnance (HERO), electromagnetic
data security (EMSEC), counter improvised explosive device
(CIED) EMC issues and includes first-hand experiences of work
done in the Afghan theatre.
