I believe the US used EMT weapons in the early days
if the invasion of Iraq.

Actually it is damn difficult to do. Lightning is the commonest emp most
of us are familiar with. The strretlights in Hawaii got blown out many years
ago but I think that was Bimini.
H bombs are pretty exotic. The battlefield emp weapons
have effective radiuses measured in hundreds of meters not km.
We use these polyphaser lightning arrestors on all our solar
array installs.
we have several lightning prevention devices we use
that are ALSO rated for EMP
at least it says so on the
box
blah blah up to xxx joules of surge at xxx nanosecond clamp
time
they are really not all that expensive considering how much the
arrays and inverters cost

On C-SPAN, June 21 2005, I saw a
fascinating account on how a terrorist nuclear attack can
disable/destroy all our electronic devices: computers,PDAs,
cellular phones, TVs, TIVOs, pagers, even many cars, trucks and
RVs. All of these devices dead, made inoperable,useless, so many
doorstops and paperweights created by a terrorist
nuclear bomb/missile's ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP). EMP can disable
electronics as far away as 3700 miles. Roscoe Bartlett's
presentation on C-SPAN showed that such an attack can disable the
american economy for a long &n! bsp;time, set it back at least a
hendred (100) years and create millions
of casualties.
Since the damage can be so great and so
widespread, we are ALL in it together. The banks WILL be affected.
The consumers WILL be affected. The buainesses' operations WILL be
disrupted. If customers can't get money out of the banks, they
WON'T be able to buy your product or service. Let me stress it
again: we are ALL in this together. You WON'T be able to get on the
Internet (assuming that all your electronics haven't been destroyed
first) UNLESS your ISP can itself get on
the Internet.
Yet, there is hope in the form of
defensive measures. Enter these words in the Google search box
:"shielded rooms" or "EMP" or "NEMP" or "Faraday cages" or
"anechoic chamber".
I have NO business interests in the
companies mentioned.

well, gee, if the terorist haven't thought of doing this
