Whether you're concerned about facilities, high-reliability military equipment, or your local community networks, electromagnetic pulse (EMP) could disrupt your day-to-day capabilities. From leaving you without power to leaving you without data or sensitive equipment, having a plan to address EMP now protects you from equipment loss in the future.
Add in high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP), which can generate 3 separate strong EMP events, and our vulnerability becomes much more complicated.
We're returning for Part 2 this week around HEMP protections with Dan Rebeck and Adam Perone of Transtector and PolyPhaser. As Adam explains, electricity is everywhere on the battlefield. While the military market is investing in protecting communications and equipment, other markets such as facilities maintenance and utilities could benefit from getting ahead of the risk now.
Dan dives in again to explain the four pillars of protection you can implement to guard a system against HEMP and EMP: surge protection, grounding, shielding, and filtering. And listen in for an extra bonus pillar: backup power.
In Part 2, you can hear about:
(2:02) Who is the HEMP & EMP protection market?
(6:15) 4 Pillars: surge protection
(9:02) 4 Pillars: shielding
(9:55) 4 Pillars: grounding
(12:40) 4 Pillars: filtering
(14:05) The 5th Pillar: backup power
(16:53) MIL-STD-188-125 and product testng
(19:18) Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) guidelines and commercial infrastructure
(24:00) Infrastructure applications
(27:10) Emerging trends toward implementation
You can find the Guidelines from the Dept. of Homeland Security for protecting against EMP events here.
If you missed Part 1, be sure to listen to episode 24, where Dan and Marti talk about what EMP and HEMP are and what risks they pose.
For individual components or full system customizable solutions, you can work with Spirit as an authorized reseller for Transtector and PolyPhaser to protect your product or your facility from HEMP & EMP.
