Abstract
High-power microwave (HPM) sources have been under investigation
for several years as potential weapons for a variety of sabotage,
terrorism, counter-security system, and combat applications. The key
points to recognize are the insidious nature of HPM and the many areas
in which it can impact on security technology. Computers and other
equipment can be damaged without user recognition of the cause. HPM has
the capability to penetrate not only radio front-ends but also the most
minute shielding penetrations throughout the equipment. The potential
exists for significant damage to security and other devices and
circuits, and even injury to humans. Different HPM threats are described
and specific protective measures are outlined
