5. An e-bomb is a weapon designed to take advantage of cutting of
power in an area, destroying of machines that use electricity.
Generators would be useless, cars wouldn’t run, and there would
be no chance making a phone call.
In a matter of seconds, a big enough e-bomb could thrust an
entire city back 200 years or cripple a military unit.
An e-bomb would destroy electronic equipments and also entire
communication systems.
9. Coupling Modes:
Front door coupling occurs typically when power from an
electromagnetic weapon is coupled into an antenna
associated with radar or communications equipments.
Back door coupling occurs when the electromagnetic field
from a weapon produces large transient currents or
electrical standing waves on fixed electrical wiring and
cables interconnecting equipment, or providing
connections to mains power or the telephone network.

11. Buildings housing government offices and thus
computer equipment, production facilities, military
bases and known radar sites and communications
nodes are all targets which can be readily identified
through conventional photographic, satellite, imaging
radar, electronic reconnaissance and humid
operations.
15. An e-bomb could effectively neutralize:
Vehicle control systems
Targeting systems, on the ground, on missiles and
bombs
Communication systems
Navigation systems
Long and short-range sensor systems
16. A weapon optimized to destroy solid state computers and
receivers may cause little or no damage to a thermionic
technology devices.
Radiating targets such as radars or communications
equipments may continue to radiate after an attack even
though their receiver and data processing systems have
been damaged or destroyed.
Means of delivery will limit the lethality of an e-bomb by
introducing limits to the weapons size and the accuracy of
its delivery.
Patients who are on the ventilation in hospital may lose
there life because of no electric power.
17. E-bombs are weapons of electrical mass destruction
with applications across a broad spectrum of
targets, spanning both the strategic and tactical.
E-bombs can paralyze electronic combat, offensive
counter air and strategic air attack.
The non-lethal nature of electromagnetic weapons
makes their use far less politically damaging than that
of conventional munitions, and therefore broadens the
range of military options available.
The danger for human life is very less compared to
normal weapons.
