bomb is generation of high intensityelectromagnetic pulse.

High intensity Electromagnetic Pulse can be

generated by two methods :

1. Flux Compression Generators (FCG).

2. Magneto-Hydrodynamic (MHD)

generators.

E-bomb is a WEMD.

High payoff in using E-bombs against fundamentalinfrastructure, resulting in ubstantial paralysis.

E-bombs will become a decisive capability inStrategic Warfare and Electronic Combat.

E-bombs are a non-lethal weapon.

The critical issues for the next decade are the

deployment of E-bombs and the hardening of
