Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / Because of the unique features of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and Hazardous
Electromagnetic Effects on Ordnance (HERO), much research and money has gone into
protecting weapon systems and ordnance against it. The EMP and HERO phenomena
do have a variety of differences and require differences of hardening technique to protect
against it. However, they both involve radiation effects and can prematurely initiate
ordnance via the electroexplosive device (EED). Protection of weapon systems and
ordnance against electronic damage and upset plus EED initiation takes on more of an
art form rather than science once basic principles are applied. Nevertheless by relating
these two programs via the initiating temperature of the EED. they can be accurately
compared with each other. Because of this observation, the two programs can be
effectively combined to work jointly on ordnance hardening and protection including all
forms of radiation type hazards, present and future. / http://archive.org/details/comparisonofemph00boga / Lieutenant. United States Navy
