Session Abstract

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
4:20pm - 4:40pm

Impact of IEMI Threats on Automotive Systems for Autonomous Driving Applications

Christine Mack

HSU Hamburg, Germany

Ensuring the EMC of autonomous driving and electromobility is crucial to the competitiveness of the automotive industry. This presentation will focus on intentionally generated electromagnetic interference effects in automotive systems.


4:40pm - 5:00pm

National Protection of Critical Infrastructure

Carlos Romero

Armasuisse, Switzerland

This presentation outlines an integrated approach to national critical infrastructure protection against High-Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) effects. This presentation bridges the gap between empirical findings and strategic civil protection.


5:00pm - 5:20pm

HPEM-Detection for Protection of Critical Infrastructures – Concepts and Applications

Christian Adami

Fraunhofer INT, Germany

There are different options for protection of electronic devices and critical infrastructures against HPEM/ IEMI threats. This presentation will introduce concepts for detection of HPEM threats as well as concepts for application in critical infrastructures.


5:20pm - 5:40pm

HEMP Filter Design Principles

Thomas Chau

MPE, United Kingdom

This presentation will discuss the core principles of HEMP power line filter design, considering top-level constraints, design trade-offs, and key imperatives that must be considered during the design of a successful HEMP filter.
