§ 215.1 Background.
(a) The nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is part of the complex
environment produced by nuclear explosions. It consists of transient
voltages and currents which can cause malfunctioning and serious damage to
electrical and electronic equipment.
(b) The Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) is the overall technical coordinator
for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and DOE laboratories on matters concerning
nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons effects, and nuclear weapons testing. It
acts as the focal point between the service laboratories and other agencies.
The National Communications System (NCS), with the Defense Communications
Agency (DCA), maintains a data base for telecommunications. DCA also
provides the primary capability for the NCS to conduct telecommunications
survivability studies for civil and military departments and agencies.
(c) In order to disseminate among affected Federal agencies information
concerning the telecommunications effects of EMP and available protective
measures, and in order to avoid duplication of research efforts, it is
desirable to designate a focal point within the Federal Government for
telecommunications EMP matters.
