EMP Vulnerability Assessment of the AN/USM-410, a Computerized, Van-Mounted Electronic Equipment Test System

摘要

An analytical study was performed to assess the survivability of the AN/USM-410, van-mounted configuration, to the nuclear electromagnetic pulse. The AN/USM-410 is an automated test system for repairing electronic equipment. The system uses commercial, off-the-shelf automatic data-processing equipment to control specially designed test and interface equipment. This report describes the philosophy and technique for the assessment and presents conclusions and recommendations for reducing the system susceptibility level. (Author)
