Intentional electromagnetic inference (IEMI) becomes more and more a threat to modern society since the availability of IEMI sources increases, while modern electronic systems are becoming more vulnerable. Due to the widespread use of electronic systems, that are necessary to build up critical infrastructure, even partial breakdown can lead to a substantial interruption of public life.
This workshop focuses on the vulnerability and protection of typically involved electronic systems and critical infrastructures. The workshop will present multiple approaches for the protection of electronics and critical infrastructures which considers not only the classic protective measures but also modern approaches in the area of risk management, resilience and functional safety.
Presentations
11:00am - 11:50am
On the Concept of EMI Risk Management
Frank Sabath
Bundeswehr Research Institute for Protective Technologies and CBRN Protection, Germany
This presentation provides reflections on how EMI protection of a complex system and installation can be accomplished. It covers the concept, the basic principles as well as the implementation of the EMI risk management, along with the requisite augmentations.
11:50am - 12:10pm
The threat of Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) for electronic devices and critical infrastructures
Marian Lanzrath
Fraunhofer INT, Germany
The presentation will focus on the introduction of the threat arising from IEMI and HPEM. The second half of the presentation will give an overview on typical vulnerabilities of electronic devices and critical infrastructures as well as the impact on failure.
12:10pm - 12:30pm
Resilient Digital Substation and Cost Benefit Analysis
Joel Kellogg
Fraunhofer INT, Germany
This presentation discusses a system approach to resilience, not only from cyber threats or HEMP, EMP and IEMI, but from a host of other events that could disrupt the supply of power. Conclusive there is a review of cost trade-offs for reliable protection and system performance.
