In recent years, growing attention has been paid to the threat posed by high-power electromagnetic (HPEM) environments to the normal operation of important electronic systems of the civil infrastructure. The objective of this Special Session is to present aspects of the interaction of high-power ultra-wideband (UWB) fields with modern electronic systems. Papers will cover a wide range of issues including risk management for different HPEM environments, a proposed methodology for classifying facility vulnerability in order to facilitate hardening to Intentional EMI (IEMI), a method to estimate the vulnerability of complex electronic systems to electromagnetic attacks, measured immunity performance of a generic microcontroller board to UWB pulses, the susceptibility of COTS information technology equipment to interference from UWB, high power microwave (HPM) and damped sinusoid (DS) sources, and the impact of different characteristics of HPEM environments (e.g. amplitude, rise time, and waveform) on the susceptibility of IT systems.Planned Papers1.
