Without electromagnetic pulse (EMP) protections in place, EMPs could permanently damage electronic hardware in a large geographic area like a city, threatening a country’s security, economy, and citizens. EMP simulations are a fast and affordable way to develop technology, equipment, and protocols that predict, respond, recover, and prevent the potentially devastating effects of EMPs.
EMP effects should be an engineering concern as naturally occurring EMPs are likely, with the chances of an EMP hitting the earth estimated at 10 to 12% per decade. Simulation programs can be used to test solutions or find others, as EMP simulations can calculate how the electromagnetic field and noise affect instruments.
Shielding and the use of lightning-rated surge protection devices such as metal oxide varistors were proposed as two potential solutions to the EMP problem.

EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) can compromise electronic devices and shut down entire networks. There are standards that evaluate the protection of the electronics against EMP and High Altitude EMP (HEMP).
