Abstract :
In today´s world we are surrounded by the most sophisticated & hi-tech microprocessor & microcontroller technology, which controls transport, finance, Electricity, Communications, etc. An EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) has the destructive tendency to devastate any electronic equipment in its specified path range, causing electronic equipment to burn out. With the continuous development, use & dependability of modern day equipment, it is almost impossible for us go back from the current microelectronic generation. This makes the Electro-Magnetic Pulse one of the most deadliest & Terrifying weapon in the world causing huge collateral & infrastructural damage to any nation & her interests. This paper includes all the basses of Electro-Magnetic Pulse generation & it´s possible causes & effects on the nearby electronic components within its specified range capability. Along with miniature prototypes that are developed, so as to demonstrate the effect of Electro-Magnetic Pulse on various smart & dumb devices & their consecutive role in Modern Warfare as Directed Energy Weapons (DEW´s). Currently, there is a lot of research going on the ElectroMagnetic Pulse phenomenon. Scientists in military & defense organizations around the world are working on the EMP Technology & its application as a weapon in Military Warfare. There is even subsequent research going on in the shielding of crucial electrical & electronic components against an EMP attack. The current EMP shields developed can only prevent a small amounts of Electro-Magnetic Pulse. However, a perfect shield against an EMP attack of huge intensity is still not devised, although Ferro-Magnetic cages provides a protective shield against an EMP strike. However it´s nearly impossible to realize every structure, building, Electronic gadget or vehicle shielded by Ferro-magnetic Cages. As it doesn´t only cause inconvenience in its installation but even has a h- ge initial capital coast for its total installation, hence doesn´t make it economically viable to construct.
