| Recent tests at NAS Lakehurst, N.J., should have builders of the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) sleeping more easily. The Navys risky bet in the design of the Fordits reliance on an all-electric replacement for the steam catapultappears to be paying off. Problems and delays with the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (Emals) last year were a threat to the carrier, because its design and construction reached a point where reverting to steam would have been difficult and expensive. With Emals in mind, the Ford-class features a much more powerful electrical generation and distribution system than the predecessor Nimitz-class ships, along... |
Israel system uses electromagnetic pulses to see inside rooms

| Israel has developed a counter-insurgency system that could see through walls. Israel's Camero has developed a system that could penetrate walls and identify enemy operatives. Camero has developed the Xavier 400 system, which uses electromagnetic pulses to allow operators to see everything within an adjacent room. "This technology saves lives," Cameron vice president David Gazelle said. Executives said Xavier, the size of a laptop computer, has already been deployed around the world. In November 2009, the three-kilogram system facilitated the rescue of a kidnapping victim in an unidentified foreign country. Xavier was said to be based on a multi-channel ultra-wideband... |
Rail Gun Pumps Rounds At Swarms

| One of the more intriguing technologies spotted at this weeks Navy League Sea-Air-Space Expo was General Atomics electromagnetic rail cannon. The company has been working for a number of years with the Office of Naval Research on a 200-nautical mile gun system. In a parallel effort, theyve been developing a smaller, pulse-power technology demonstrator, called the Blitzer, for ship defense against anti-ship cruise missiles and small boat swarms. Two million amps launch a guided projectile at twice the speed of a conventional gun, but at much lower cost than the usual surface-to-air missile systems on most naval ships. General Atomics... |
The EMP threat: fact, fiction, and response (part 2)

| What appears to be of particular concern to the EMP commission is the scepter of terrorist groups or so-called rogue nations carrying out such an attack. As outlined by Dr. Pry, one of the commissioners, before a 2005 Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security, [a] nuclear missile concealed in the hold of a freighter would give Iran, or terrorists, the capability to perform an EMP attack against the United States homeland, without developing an ICBM, and with some prospect of remaining anonymous. Irans Shahab-3 medium-range missile is a mobile missile, and small enough to be transported in the... |
Mobile phone use may stave off, reverse Alzheimer's: study

| WASHINGTON (AFP) Long suspected of causing brain tumors, mobile phones are now being eyed as key allies in the fight against Alzheimer's disease, US researchers said Wednesday in a study. Researchers at the University of South Florida (USF) found, to their surprise, that 96 mice they zapped twice daily for an hour each time with electromagnetic waves similar to those generated by US mobile (cellular) phones benefited from the exposure. Long-term exposure to the electromagnetic waves in mobile phones wiped out deposits of beta-amyloid -- a protein fragment that accumulates in the brain of Alzheimer's sufferers to form the... |
THE CASE FOR SPACE-BASED DEFENSE

| THE CASE FOR SPACE-BASED DEFENSE The growing interest in nuclear technology by countries such as Iran presages the possibility that one or more nations may attempt to harness such a capability in the form of an electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) attack against the United States, a prominent political scientist has warned. Such a scenario, writes Brian Kennedy of the Claremont Institute in the November 24th edition of the Wall Street Journal, is not far-fetched. "It would require the Iranians to be able to produce a warhead as sophisticated as we expect the Russians or the Chinese to possess. But that is... |
Vehicle-Mounted Active Denial System (V-MADS)

| Active Denial Technology is a breakthrough non-lethal technology that uses millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy to stop, deter and turn back an advancing adversary from relatively long range. It is expected to save countless lives by providing a way to stop individuals without causing injury, before a deadly confrontation develops. The technology was developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Department of Defense's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate. Approximately $40 million has been spent on this technology over the past ten years. In July 2005 it was reported that the Active Denial System would be deployed to Iraq before the end... |
Electromagnetic attack: Thinking the unthinkable

| When the 9/11 Commission issued its report, it complained that federal agencies had a colossal "failure of imagination." Nobody could accuse Newt Gingrich of suffering from that shortfall. When he delivered a major address on national security last week, the former House speaker went after Defense Secretary Robert Gates for planning for the future the Pentagon wants, rather than dealing with the many serious problems it may actually face. Gingrich mentioned one challenge that many find too terrible to contemplate--which is why our government should spend a lot more time doing exactly that. I'm referring to the electromagnetic pulse (EMP).... |
Electromagnetic Railgun: An Innovative Naval Program

| Electromagnetic Railgun: An Innovative Naval Program What is the electromagnetic railgun? In a word, innovation. This weapons system will bypass the traditional use of chemical propellants or rocket motors for firing projectiles or missiles. Instead, electromagnetic railguns mounted on U.S. naval vessels will use electricity to launch projectiles farther and faster than any ship in today's fleet. When fully operational, the electromagnetic railgun (EMRG) will: Deliver hypervelocity projectiles at Mach 5 on impact in support of Marines and ground forces.Strike within 5 meters of a pinpointed target from distances in excess of 200 nautical miles. Maximize damage through kinetic energy... |
