This is kind of old news. I know when I was in the military my ship, a very large aircraft carrier, prior to going to the yards for overhaul, was scheduled with an EMP generator. I don't know why it was scrapped but they can-X'ed it. I remember seeing what the original plans were. My dept/div. was OE. We had control of the ships operational electronics such as radars, computers and radio/data communication. If memory serves me, they wanted to see how close we could get to a A-bomb EMP event before it rendered all electronics useless. On a side note. When that Soviet pilot flew that MIG-25 to Japan, a lot of the investigators laughed because all the avionics was based on electron tube technology. Until one person spoke and stated, "Maybe they built it like this on purpose." Whereas tubes are substaniantally more hardy to an EMP event than solid state. Another fine reason to keep building and using hollow state technology;>) Mod-U-Lator, Mike(y) W3SLK
