• India making E-Bomb

[IMG]http://www.countdown.org/end/pix/ebomb.jpg[/IMG] [release] With electronic warfare and network-centric operations playing an increasingly significant role in today’s battlefield, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is developing a weapon that renders electronic gadgets useless and effectively neutralises the adversary’s command, control and communication capability.Commonly referred to as “e-bomb”, the weapon produces a strong electromagnetic field generating powerful electricity surges that can play havoc with electronic circuits within a specified area.“We have developed and validated the technology and the weapon in its usable form is expected to be complete within the 12th Plan,” Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) director Dr Manjit Singh said.“Though this is the biggest weapon of mass destruction next to a nuclear bomb, it has a limited collateral damage as it does not target humans and is designed to hit computer systems and networks,” he said.The e-bomb, based on Explosive Driven High Energy Pulse Power Technology, can be deployed against non-military establishments like banking and civic utility networks, communication and power generation networks.It not only disables gadgets and networks but also destroys or damages them, which can seriously affect day-to-day functioning of the society over an extended period of time. The bomb can also be used against mobile enemy command and control centres or advancing formations to render them “blind” by disrupting communication.The basic principle of the weapon, according to APS Sodhi, a senior scientist working on the programme, is converting the explosive’s chemical power into electrical power. “Detonation of 1 kg of the designed explosive mixture can produce about 4.5 megaJoule of electricity energy,” he said. The explosive is a mixture of RDX and TNT.Initially, DRDO’s e-bomb is being designed for delivery by combat aircraft and later, as technology ismatured and the warhead made more compact, it would be integrated with missiles.[B]How does it work[/B]The e-bomb produces a strong electromagnetic field generating powerful electricity surges that can play havoc with electronic circuits in a specified areaIt not only disables and damages gadgets and networks, but also destroys themThe bomb can be used against mobile enemy command and control centres to render them “blind” by disrupting communication[/release] [URL]http://idrw.org/?p=5051[/URL]
Oooooh, EMP. This shit's interesting.
I thought this was something to do with computers with the name E-Bomb.
Too bad most advanced military technology is hardened against this sort of thing. if you could scale it up so a country's electrical grid acts as an antenna it would be absolutely devastating, though
India is the west of the Middle east. Same with Israel.

I think most developed nations already got "e-bombs". I'm pretty sure US and Russia got them. In a declassified 2005 report from China, they stated that they've managed to make such a bomb and I think had scenarios about bombing Taiwan (lol poor Taiwan).

Scary to think a single, powerful EMP bomb could basically ruin an entire continent. In many ways, their potential is far greater than even the biggest nuclear bombs.
[QUOTE=Elfy;33200028]India is the west of the Middle east. Same with Israel.[/QUOTE] The Middle East is the east yeast of the mid-west north-south westlands.

Still terrible, just without the goodies that make a nuke so terrible (like radiation).

But the hard part is probably to make it large enough that one bomb can shut down a large part of the country you are attacking, without the electric pulse affecting yourself.

India might just become more powerful than China by the year 2050
Better build a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage]Faraday cage[/url] for our computers then. [img]http://i.imgur.com/MnOAx.gif[/img]
What is the blast radius of the e-pulse?
[QUOTE=farmatyr;33201189]What is the blast radius of the e-pulse?[/QUOTE] Depends on altitude mostly.
This is still one less than the F-bomb so I'm prepared for a counterattack
[QUOTE=Zeke129;33201631]This is still one less than the F-bomb so I'm prepared for a counterattack[/QUOTE] Canada is still relatively deficient in that field Australia leads the way [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twI5XVCgo6c&feature=related[/media]
[QUOTE=farmatyr;33201189]What is the blast radius of the e-pulse?[/QUOTE] i think it's designed more as an infiltrator missile rather than sending a pulse from base I.E. stealth e-missile flies in, trashes electronics, then REAL missile comes in and blows up
Sure, why not show everyone digital diagrams on how to make a handy-dandy E-bomb
[QUOTE=sHiBaN;33201848]Sure, why not show everyone digital diagrams on how to make a handy-dandy E-bomb[/QUOTE] I KNOW RIGHT It's not like it requires explosives Or it is a poor rendering with insufficient detail Or is readily available from any high energy journal Or could be designed by anyone with an electrical engineering degree
[QUOTE=sHiBaN;33201848]Sure, why not show everyone digital diagrams on how to make a handy-dandy E-bomb[/QUOTE]Homemade E-bombs wouldn't really do more than take out an internet cafe.
