Nice work if you can get it. BAE Systems just won $150,000 to bombard computers with high-powered electromagnetic radiations to see whether they’ll fritz out. The objective: learn how to fry the other guy’s electronics while protecting your own.

Yesterday, the Air Force announced that Europe’s biggest arms company will develop the first tests for its High Power Microwave Technological Electromagnetic Susceptibility with Laboratory Applications project. Basically, much as microwave jammers stop homemade bombs by interfering with the signals sent from their remote detonators, the Air Force wants to find out how much damage it can inflict on other systems, and how much damage its own systems can handle. Or, in its words, figure out “cost effective, innovative solutions for determining the susceptibility/vulnerability of U.S. and foreign systems to high power electromagnetic (EM) environments.”

Hosted by the Air Force Research Labs’ Directed Energy Directorate at Nevada’s Kirtland Air Force Base, BAE will spend nine months subjecting a “digital system, such as a Personal Computer” with high-powered electromagnetic waves to watch it short out. The idea is to build a predictive model of “when such an upset might occur.” Apparently, no “comprehensive predictive system-level models exist” for understanding digital upset.

The offensive and defensive applications are obvious. Figure out the breaking point for such electronics and you’ll learn what specifications you’ll need for directed-energy weapons like lasers to fry your opponents’ comparable systems; as well as the levels at which your own become vulnerable. Don’t want your Littoral Combat Ship’s communications or navigation systems to be shorted out by a microwave burst? Start out by learning just what size burst will short them out.

How would you title it?

It also could be used to destroy a plane's controls, Honeywell has been working on transforming all critical flight systems with NASA to make digital ones appear to be safer than manual ones:

Digital Upset Prevention & Recovery of Fault Tolerance

Current aerospace trends are demonstrating a greater dependence on digital technology for flight critical functions. With many of these systems, commercial off the shelf (COTS) electronics are being applied to commercial aviation products. These same types of COTS electronics are additionally being used for a variety of space and defense applications as well. However, due to digital technology's soft fault characteristics and the inherent design limitations of COTS electronics to function in "high energy" environments (i.e. electromagnetic, radiation), these technologies present sizable challenges for use in aerospace applications. Honeywell is working with NASA on various programs to pioneer the rapid computational recovery (demonstrated for the electromagnetic environment) to support the use of digital technologies for critical flight functions:

   NASA HSR Contract NAS1-20219 (1995-1999)
       First stage prototype of transparent recoverable computer platform
       NASA testing results spawned additional contracts

   NASA CRA NCC-1-393 (2000-2005)
       Recoverable computer platform in distributed flight control system(closed loop)
       Integrated and demonstrated at NASA LaRC SAFETI Lab

   Development of Non-Volatile RAM (2004- beyond):
       Recoverable computer platform in distributed flight control system(closed loop)
       Hardened memory to support rapid computational recovery

Deciphering the US Navy’s announced plans to field a cyber-attack system

Recently, the US Navy announced that it wants to be able to invade or disable enemy networks from a distance with no physical contact, with a target rollout date of 2018:

… one company states that it is “developing a weapon system that can deliver cyber-effects through free space into an aperture.”…

… uniquely tailored data streams… would be packed with specialized waveforms and algorithms that work like keys to open networks.[1]

Anyone who’s been paying attention to the way the US military does business understands that when the military starts buying technology from contractors, they’ve already had the technology for some time; the contractors are politically-connected “entrepeneurs” cashing in on the commercialization phase of black technologies[2]. Military technologies that get commercialized eventually find their way into the hands of law enforcement[3], sooner than one might think; and law enforcement powers are meant to be abused[4].

So it might be a good idea to take a closer look at what the US Navy is really saying.
