Seal Beach Navy Transmitters Control Residents’ Garage Doors
Radio interference from U.S. Navy transmitters controlled garage door openers near the Naval Weapons Station in Seal Beach causing them to suddenly open and close by themselves. A new communications system used by the military was on the same frequency as the garage door openers. This has happened near other bases all over the country. Garage door remotes operate on an … [Read more...]

Navy Seeks Anti-Tamper Technologies for Electronics Systems
The U.S. Office of Naval Research recently released a broad agency announcement for the Protection of Electronics Systems program to develop long-lasting undetectable layered technologies to detect attempts to tamper with U.S. and allied military technology, yet provide no indication of when it detects a tamper attempt. The program has four primary thrusts: memory erasure, … [Read more...]
Electromagnetic Interference Sources and Their Most Significant Effects
As the density of the electromagnetic environment continues to increase, the concern about its effects from sources producing EMI also increases. Advances in technology and the number of products produced are having a significant effect on the efforts aimed at maintaining the required operation and interoperability of products and systems used in our society. These events had … [Read more...]
High Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) Threats to the Smart Grid
This paper is focused on the threats and impacts of High Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) environments on the U.S. Power Grid and further introduces the implications of making the power grid “smarter” through the introduction of additional electronics. These Smart Grid electronics may introduce additional vulnerabilities if the grid is exposed to the high power EM threats of … [Read more...]
