I realise some of the juicy details from the document is not mentioned in the summary on the first page, so I'll quote one of them here (page 13):
>A high-yield warhead (1 megaton or more) detonated for HEMP [0] over the ocean would cover an area 2,200 kilometers in radius, a zone nearly as large as North America, with powerful E3 HEMP that would penetrate the ocean depths and possibly damage or destroy the electronics of submarines on patrol. Submarines would be especially vulnerable when deploying their very long antennae—which they need to do precisely when trying to receive EAMS.
