Grounding, Bonding, and Shielding for Electronic Equipments and Facilities: MiL-HDBK-419A

Unfortunately, few Military Handbooks address the need for defense against electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and cybersecurity. While EMP has been thought of as a remote possibility (who in his right mind is going to launch a nuclear weapon of any kind against the U.S.?) Advances in non-nuclear EMP, miniaturization of electronics and autonomous drones suddenly brings EMP into the role of the possible. No longer would an adversary need to risk retaliation when a drone from an unknown source attacks a vital facility. The information in this book is part of the solution to the question “How do we defend against EMP?”

Each copy of the MIL HNDBKs we publish includes a list of cybersecurity publications produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as well as Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) that are directly applicable to the topic for consideration during the planning process.

List of Other Applicable EMP Publications:

Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don’t have to.

First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it’s the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it’s all there – including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it’s just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it’s 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.

It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
