http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/kopp/apjemp.html
High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation techniques and High Power Microwave technology have matured to the point where practical E-bombs (Electromagnetic bombs) are becoming technically feasible, with new applications in both Strategic and Tactical Information Warfare. The development of conventional E-bomb devices allows their use in non-nuclear confrontations. Dr Kopp will discuss aspects of the technology base, weapon delivery techniques and propose a doctrinal foundation for the use of such devices in warhead and bomb applications.
