Hardened Aircraft Shelters

The following graphic represents the requirement for “Military-Grade” EMP hardening. This profile was developed from extensive research into EMP effects of nuclear weapons, and known vulnerabilities of equipment, electronics, and infrastructure. In a typical “military-grade” EMP shield, an additional “de-rating” margin is added which allows for the facility to degrade over time and still meet this minimum EMP profile.

Special designs to mitigate for multiple types of missiles and munitions impact.
