    The Weapon of Electric Mass Destruction

    This document discusses the e-bomb weapon, which uses electromagnetic pulses to disable electronics. It describes the basic idea of overwhelming electrical circuitry with intense EMPs. The e-bomb consists of a capacitor, explosives, and armature that creates a short circuit and electromagnetic burst when detonated. It can be delivered by missiles or aircraft and target stationary, mobile, or hidden electronics. While an effective defense weapon, e-bombs also pose limitations due to delivery methods and verification of damage.

    E-BOMB

    THE WEAPON OF ELECTRIC MASS DESTRUCTION


    OVERVIEW
     Introduction
     Basic idea of E-Bomb
     Coupling modes
     E-Bomb description
     Algorithm of E-Bomb blast
     Targeting of E-Bomb
     Delivering of conventional E-Bomb
     Lethality and utility
     Defence against E-Bomb
     Limitations
    BASIC IDEA
     Basic overwhelms electrical
    circuitry.

     It produces intense
    electromagnetic pulse.

     The pulse generated produces


    powerful magnetic field.

     Sufficiently strong transient


    voltage is produced.
    COUPLING MODES
    Two kinds of coupling modes are recognised
    in literature.

    (1) Front door


    coupling:
    Coupling associated
    with antenna.
    (2) Back door coupling:
     Coupling associated
    with electrical cables
    and wires.
    E-BOMB description
    FCG is the most mature technology.

     Consists of ARMATURE and STATOR WINDING.

     Armature is filled with HIGH EXPLOSIVE and a


    STURDY JACKET.

     Bank of capacitors are used as power source.


    ALGORITHM OF E-BOMB
    BLAST
     The capacitor sends electric current generating intense
    magnetic field.

     Fuse mechanism ignites the explosive material.


     Short circuit is created
    by explosion.

     Generation of intense
    electromagnetic burst.
    TARGETING OF E-BOMB
    The targets are broadly divided into 3
    types.
    (1) Stationary targets : Targets are identified
    through conventional
    photograph,satellites,imaging radar and
    humint operations.

    (2) Mobile and camouflaged targets that radiate


    overtly : Targets traced by effective ELS and
    ESM system.
    (3) Mobile and hidden targets which do not radiate overtly :
    Targets tracked down by UE.
    DELIVERING OF E-BOMB
     Fitting an electromagnetic warhead to a cruse missile
    airframe.
     Conventional aircraft
     GPS satellite navigation kit.
    Lethality : There is a range of possible
    attack scenarios.

    Vehicle control systems


    Targeting systems, on the ground and on
    missiles and bombs
     Communications systems
    Navigation systems
    long and short-range sensor systems
    Utility :
    Main utility: DEFENCE PURPOSE

     Navy can use it to neutralise anti-ship missiles and


    Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

     Air force plans to equip its bombers, strike fighters and


    cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicle with e-bomb
    capabilities. When fielded it will be one of the most
    sophisticated weapon to have ever existed.
     
    It is preferred over the classes
    of bombs because:
    Itworks in all weather
    Low cost per engagement
    Possible to engage multiple targets
    Not able to detect attacks
    Non-lethal to humans
    DEFENCE AGAINST E-
    BOMB:
     Step1: Precaution relating to UE and other detectable
    emissions.

     Step2: Destruction of launch platform or delivery vehicles.

     Step3: Placing equipment in an electrically conductive


    enclosure.

     Step4: Hardening of the device.


    LIMITATIONS :

     Thermionic technology(vacuum technology) is


    resilient to e-weapon.

     Means of delivery limits e-bomb lethality.

     Problems faced in kill assessments.


    CONCLUSION :
     E-bomb can act both as a boom or a bane.

    E-bombs are not our future ,they are


    our present and if we do not take
    notice we will be left behind in the
    past.
