- 1. PRESENTATION ON ELECTRONICS BOMBSushant Maniyar
2. INTRODUCTION - E-Bombs are weapons of electrical mass
destruction - Can damage wide range of electrical & electronics
equipments i.e. computers, radios, radar, wires or PCBs etc. -they
use of non-nuclear confrontation. - using principle of EMP effect.
- It has combination of both electric and magnetic fields. - emp
device can render the electronics equipments 3. History First
observed during the early testing of high altitude airburst nuclear
weapons. Then FCG is built and tested in US, and then in USSR And
more recently in CIS. 4. BASIC PRINCIPLE Work on principle of EMP
method EMP stands for: Electromagnetic Pulses. They very strong
pulses. They has short lived transient voltages of thousands of
volts. Its effects on the circuitry of other semiconductor
electronics equipments (i.e. MOS). Due to over power the device
damages. All types of receivers and communication equipments are
highly vulnerable. 5. Concept of EMP It is an electromagnetic
pulse. Produces a powerful electromagnetic fields (i.e. in
kilovolts). Due to powerful fields it cause wide damage of
electronics appliances. The EMP is in effect an electromagnetic
shock wave. 6. Technology based for E-bomb It is based on
Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator. 7. Introduction to
Flux Compression Generator It is a type of generator for producing
EMP. It is the most mature technology applicable to bomb. FCG is a
device capable of producing electrical energies of about tens of
Mega joules in ten to hundreds of microseconds. It has peak power
kevels of the order of Terawatts to tens of Terawatts. 8. Working
of FCG Producing a pulse of electric current of order of ten of
kilo Amperes to Mega Amperes. It has cylindrical copper tubes of
armature. This tube is filled with a fast high energy explosive.
Armature is surrounded by a helical coil of heavy wire. Which forms
the FCG stator. The start current is supplied by an external
current source. Such as a high voltage capacitor bank. So by this a
intense magnetic field is produced during this operation. So in
this method using a fast explosive into the magnetic field. 9.

of identifying targets for attack with EBomb is complex. Targets
which can be readily identified through conventional photographic,
satellite, image radar and human operation. These targets are
typically geographically fixed and thus may de attacked providing
that aircraft can penetrate to weapon release range. For accuracy
GPS/initially guided weapons can be used. 12. Lethal footprint of a
E-Bomb 13. GPS guided bomb 14. Advantages of E-bomb Permanent
damages the electrical appliances such as computers and micro
processor devices. Easy to diffuse or to destroy the missiles.
Destroys the communication system. It can even stop working of
generator or cars. Easy to handle and target. 15. Limitation It
must be noted that thermionic technology i.e. vacuumed tube
equipment is substantially more resilient to the electromagnetic
weapons. So no damages to the thermionic technology devices. 16.
