HEMP And IEMP Filters

EMI Solutions Pvt Ltd (EMIS) has launched HEMP/IEMP Filters: High Altitude/Intentional Electromagnetic Pulse Protection Filters. EMIS is a company specialised in the electromagnetic/radio frequency interference solutions, the only one in India totally dedicated to this highly critical area in the fast expanding digital electronic environment. The company has developed very critical parts for the EMI suppression for various electronic industry sectors, and also to the Indian military market, saving a huge amount of foreign currency expenditure for the country.

The expansion of electronic warfare around the world has brought in many new problems in the military electronic and one such is the protection of electronic equipment from high energy magnetic pulse from atomic explosion. As part of the electronic warfare, scientists have found that by bursting an atomic bomb at a high altitude, they can avoid the human causality on the earth due to radiation, at the same time, can destroy the complete electronic and communication systems in a wide area due to the high energy magnetic pulse produced by this burst. These magnetic pulses are of very high energy, sharp rise time and last for long duration and can destroy all electronic and communication systems permanently. Communication and electronic equipments are integral part of any modern war systems, and are critical for winning any war.

This invention of using high-energy magnetic pulse from atomic bomb has further lead to development of the Intentional Electromagnetic Pulse generators and generating high energy magnetic pulse by electronic circuits totally avoiding the need of atomic bomb. In this process highly directional, high energy magnetic pulses are generated by electronic circuits, and are directed toward the equipments which are to be destroyed. This makes the destruction quick and silent. Most importantly, no one will notice the destruction process until the equipment is not functioning since the magnetic pulse can be generated from an equipment in a flying air craft or a moving vehicle in the protected area.

A fall out of this development is causing this critical technology to fall into the hands of unscrupulous elements in the society and they make crude pulse generators to fight war against the states. This is a very scary situation. Hence most of the developed countries are introducing HEMP/IEMP protection not only to the military equipments, but to all critical data centres like banks, stock exchanges, government controlled centres, software centres, etc. However in India, importance of this type of critical protection is now limited to military area and civilian establishments are yet to release it.

EMIS has developed protection system for these HEMP and IEMP filters for the first time in India. EMIS make HEMP/IEMP filters are tested in the Indian military laboratory and also in leading world laboratory to MIL standard 188-125-1/1, which is the US and internationally accepted specification for products for these applications. With this EMIS has become one the very few companies who manufactures these types of products. This also helps the country to not depend on imports and saves foreign currency, especially at a time when the government has taken up the initiative ‘Make in India’. EMIS has also taken safety regulation certification for these products, which is mandatory for exports to other countries. The company has received very good response for these HEMP/IEMP products from customers around the world, and hopes to add this product also to the list of almost 30% of the exports of other EMI/RFI filter products.
