Abstract :
A new electromagnetic pulse threat based on a composite ambient field defined by a combination of lightning, NEMP (nuclear electromagnetic pulse) and microwave threats is discussed. The composite electromagnetic pulse threat has been used to harden a military helicopter. The hardening to a composite threat resulted in the development of simplified hardening verification procedures. It also provided an economical advantage
