From your link:
> There are two basic ways to protect or harden items against EMP effects. The first
method is metallic shielding. Shields are made of a continuous piece of metal such as
steel or copper. A metal enclosure generally does not fully shield the interior because of
the small holes that are likely to exist. Therefore, this type of shielding often contains
additional elements to create the barrier. Commonly, only a fraction of a millimeter of a
metal is needed to supply adequate protection. This shield must completely surround
the item to be hardened.
> The second method, tailored hardening, is a more cost-effective way of hardening. In
this method, only the most vulnerable elements and circuits are redesigned to be more
rugged. The more rugged elements will be able to withstand much higher currents. This
method has shown unpredictable failures in testing, though it is thought it may be useful
to make existing systems less vulnerable.
Seems reasonable to provide EMP shielding to a drone?
- sklargh 5y agoSince we are capable of EMP-hardening very large airframes (see Nightwatch, Looking Glass, SAM) I assume shielding crucial systems on a drone would be an initial design challenge but not impossible.
