Abstract:

 

Recently, EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) bombs, a core weapon system for electronic warfare, have been highlighted. EMP bombs use high-power electromagnetic waves that are intentionally generated by electromagnetic wave generators to stop the operation of the target information communication system or to paralyze its function. In this paper, we propose a process to determine the most appropriate protection measures for the layered defense scheme. This process determines the scope of the system to be protected, performs a risk assessment for the system, identifies the level of protection, and selects a protection measure that can reduce the risk to the protection level. In addition, it divides the protection measures by the defense zone, performs the cost effectiveness analysis, and decides the appropriate protection measures considering the intention of the commander and the utilization and contribution of the system.
