EMP Shielding

The best way to mitigate the threat – HEMP shielding and IEMI shielding products from MAJR!

Besides the risk of a HEMP (High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse) attack from rogue nations such as North Korea and Iran, electronic, computer, data and power systems are also vulnerable to the next likely form of terrorism and criminal activity; IEMI (Intentional Electromagnetic Interference). Complete EMP Shielding is the best defense.

ASK A QUESTION: EMP SHIELDING

The Danger Presents the Need for EMP Shielding

HEMP is defined as an instantaneous, intense energy field (such as from a high-altitude nuclear explosion) which has the potential to overload and disrupt all electrical systems and tech microcircuits from great distances. IEMI, on the other hand, is the intentional malicious generation of electromagnetic energy from closer ranges. It is much like an intense solar storm generated from the back of a van in your parking lot and aimed at damaging and disrupting vital pockets of your community systems such as banking, data storage, healthcare and portions of the power and communication grids.

The reason an IEMI event is so dangerous, even though it is smaller in nature, is two-fold:

Our dependence on computer and electronic monitoring and control systems has grown rapidly in the past two decades to the point that a single, local attack would not only have devastating consequences for the system targeted but, because systems are so interdependent, the ripple effect could be widespread.
It is ridiculously easy to learn how to build and rapidly construct a small generator which can fit in a transport van or truck, making criminal detection difficult but damage easy to carry out.
