Portions of a National Ground Intelligence Center study on the lethal effects of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons revealed that the arms are part of China’s so-called “assassin’s mace” arsenal - weapons that allow a technologically inferior China to defeat U.S. military forces. EMP weapons mimic the gamma-ray pulse caused by a nuclear blast that knocks out all electronics, including computers and automobiles, over wide areas. The phenomenon was discovered in 1962 after an aboveground nuclear test in the Pacific disabled electronics in Hawaii. more [link to www.washingtontimes.com] China, U.S. heading toward South China Sea faceoff Sovereignty claims over regions' valuable oil, gas reserves in dispute Read more: China, U.S. heading toward South China Sea faceoff [link to www.wnd.com] |

People better prepare their emergency supplies. Who knows how portable this might be and how it could be used. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 436543Good advice. This is actually in many ways worse then a few bombs because of the amount of area it could cover. Most people are not prepared either then mass chaos will ensue. |

It is absolutely plausible that China would not only deploy, but actually use this new EMP weapon as a defense against US carriers over Taiwan. The bigger problem is that China is just as likely to sell that technology to countries like Iran. ... maybe I'll start digging that "storm" shelter for those uh... tornadoes we get here all the time. Probably wouldn't hurt to line it with electrical shielding either. I mean, that stuff works great for tornadoes right? "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion.

I mean, that stuff works great for tornadoes right? Yup and keep in mind China is mad at us about the value of the dollar and the debt they hold. They are also having problems of their own have been killing people who protest again because of high prices so while some think War is out of the question they should think again China would have no problem with killing off millions of there own as a method to reduce their population. Then there is this (I don't agree with all the article but it sure makes you think) Several hypotheses come to mind: The first is the geopolitics of Afghanistan : The US is actively establishing forward military bases, surrounding and bordering on China . Secondly, US bases in Afghanistan serve as launching pads to foment “dissident separatist” armed ethnic conflicts and apply the tactics of ‘divide and conquer’ against Iran , China , Russia and Central Asian republics. in full [link to globalresearch.ca] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1464776Then I guess I'm out of a job... Do you know of any counter measures if you do please share I'd like to know. I have worked in the EMP area since 1979, almost all of which is design and mitigation against high values of electric and magnetic fields, as well as the possibility of damage/upset of critical electronic components. While I would feel uncomfortable talking about specifics, there are three general categories: 1. Overall topological design. For example, a carrier is made of steel and inherently well shielded to most any EM threat. 2. Shielding and penetration control 3. Transient protective devices at interfaces to critical electronics. The DoD regularly tests vehicles and aircraft against EMP field levels, as well as performs extensive simulations (my area of expertise) and is rather well aware of what susceptibilities exist. There are quite a few procedures in place (hardness assurance/hardness surveillance) to monitor these things. We become like that to which we are devoted. - Choose wisely. |
