Perhaps you could let us know . . . given the following scenarios . . .
I realize the following parameter is not realistic . . . perhaps . . . but let’s ASSUME that our defensive systems are either a) ordered not used, b) turned off/sabotaged, c) overmuch ineffective.
A) A major highly advanced EMP weapon is lit off at an optimum height over the central USA—say just South a bit of Kansas City.
1. What radius of damage would entail neutered:
a) modern vehicles with chips?
b) electrical grid?
c) computers & electronics in homes that were not faraday cages (seems to me single wide trailers might do better?)
d) cell phone networks and phones
e) landline phones:
. . . 1) land line phones wherein cables were mostly buried
. . . 2) land line phones wherein cables were not mostly buried.
B) EMP pulse weapons were lit off over at least 50% of the following cities
—Los Angeles
—San Francisco
—Seattle
—Chicago
—Denver
—Phoenix
—Albuquerque
—DC
—NYC
—Boston
—Atlanta
—Columbus Ohio
What would the sphere’s of damage be like then?
Have you taken any precautions at all re the EMP threat?
You first: What are your qualifications to even understand answers about EMP, electronics, electrical generation and distribution system?
