“President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order directing federal agencies to identify the threats posed by potential electromagnetic pulses (EMP), which are believed to be potentially dangerous to critical infrastructure like the electric grid, and find ways to guard against them.
“Senior administration officials told reporters during a call Tuesday that the order will direct federal agencies to coordinate in assessing the threats that EMPs pose, and find ways to prevent their impact. An EMP is a burst of electromagnetic energy that can be caused by a nuclear weapon or solar storms.”  Jacqueline Thomsen/ 3-26/ The Hill

EMP weapons can be purchased on-line from Information Unlimited, New Hampshire, among other web vendors.  The weapons are not military grade but effective.  More effective weapons can be made from technical plans that can be purchased on-line.  These weapons can disable a wide variety of electronic equipment, including home, vehicle and aircraft computer systems.
