E bomb
An electromagnetic bomb or E-bomb is designed to disable electronics with an electromagnetic pulse. Key technologies that can be applied to E-bomb designs include explosively pumped flux compression generators, explosive or propellant driven MHD generators, and various high-power microwave devices. Explosively pumped flux compression generators are the most mature technology, using explosives to rapidly compress magnetic fields to produce high currents. E-bombs can effectively couple with and damage electronics through wiring and cables. Low frequency E-bombs couple well into typical infrastructure wiring. Targets can include communications sites and mobile air defense equipment. Hardening systems against EMPs is an important defense. E-bombs have limitations based on delivery accuracy and range against the target damage

- 4. The Technology Basefor Conventional Electromagnetic Bombs The technology base which may be applied to the design of electromagnetic bombs. Key technologies which are extant in the area are , * Explosively pumped FCG * Explosive or propellant driven MHD generators * Range of HPM devices
- 5. Explosively Pumped Flux CompressionGenerators The explosively pumped FCG is the most mature technology applicable to bomb designs. The FCG was first demonstrated by Clarence Fowler at Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL) in the late fifties. The current produced by a large FCG is between ten to a thousand times greater than that produced by a typical lightning stroke . The central idea behind the construction of FCGs is that of using a fast explosive to rapidly compress a magnetic field The most commonly used arrangement is that of the coaxial FCG.

All targets which can be readily identified through conventional photographic, satellite, imaging radar. Mobile and relocatable air defence equipment are all good examples of this category of target.
- 15. Defence Against ElectromagneticBombs The most effective defence against electromagnetic bombs is to prevent their delivery by destroying the launch platform or delivery vehicle. The systems which can be expected to suffer exposure to the electromagnetic weapons effects must be electromagnetically hardened.
- 16. Limitations of ElectromagneticBombs The limitations of electromagnetic weapons are determined by , * Weapon implementation * Means of delivery Accuracy of delivery and achievable range must be considered against the allowable damage for the chosen target. An inaccurately delivered weapon of large range may be unusable against a target .
- 17. Battlefield Air Interdiction Operations usingElectromagnetic Bombs A carefully planned schemed warfare methods are typical for contemporary land warfare. Coordination and control are essential to the successful conduct of planned scheme operations. Communications and command sites are key elements in the structure of such a land army, and these concentrate communications and computer equipment. They should be attacked with electromagnetic weapons, to disrupt the command and control of land operations.

- 19. Electromagnetic bombsare Weapons of Electrical Mass Destruction with applications across a broad spectrum of targets, spanning both the strategic and tactical. E-bombs can cause hard electrical kills over larger areas than conventional explosive weapons of similar mass. E-bombs can be an affordable for military forces which are under post Cold War pressures to reduce force sizes, increasing their combat potential.
