DESCRIPTION:D. V. "Dave" Giri will discuss the history of High Power Electr
 omagnetics (HPEM). HPEM is a comprehensive acronym to include EM waveforms
  such as natural lightning\, nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP)\, High-P
 ower Microwaves (HPM)\, etc. The first decade of the 21st century has seen
  real and anecdotal evidence of RF Terrorism and IEMI HPEM source/antenna 
 systems are being developed in many nations and also becoming commercially
  available. Developments in pulse-power technologies driving conventional 
 and newer RF devices will lead to improved and more powerful source/antenn
 a systems. An EMP attack is an example of RF terrorism by rogue countries 
 and non-state actors\, and the national infrastructure can be at risk. Cyb
 er threats from hostile governments\, terrorist groups and disgruntled emp
 loyees are on the increase as well. It is prudent for civilized societies 
 to asses such threats and take pro-active and precautionary actions.\n\nSp
