Investigations into the susceptibility of a C4I system to high power microwaves

The Fraunhofer Institute for Technological Trend Analysis INT is conducting research on coupling high electromagnetic fields (high-power microwaves, HPM) to modern electronic equipment. For this purpose the institute operates powerful field simulators to determine disturbance and damage thresholds for specific devices and systems. This article covers susceptibility tests using the example of a C4I system currently used by the Dutch Army.
