New EMP Commission Reports

More New EMP Commission Reports Released

New EMP Commission reports: DoD takes their sweet time.

Another three new EMP Commission reports saw the light of day this week after 11 months of sitting and gathering dust in the Department of Defense (DoD). Previously, the first three new EMP Commission reports were released on May 8, 2018. The reports are available on Dr. William Graham’s website [click here]  or on my government documents page [click here]. The Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack (also known as the “EMP Commission”) is a Congressional chartered commission that has been studying EMP, GMD and other threats to the electric grid and critical infrastructures since 2000.

Below are the links to the latest three new EMP Commission reports:

  • Risk-Based National Infrastructure Protection Priorities for EMP and Solar Storms
  •  Examination of NERC GMD Standards and Validation of Ground Models and Geo-Electric Fields
  • Electric Reliability Standards for Solar Geomagnetic Disturbances

Why have we waited almost a year for these new EMP Commission reports ?

The EMP Commission submitted these reports to DoD in July of 2017 and, as Ambassador Henry Cooper notes, they are now “dribbling out.” It is unconscionable that DoD – the very agency with the mission of protecting the United States – has been so lackadaisical in their effort to declassify these reports. EMP and GMD are existential threats to the United States.

So far, we have 6 new EMP Commission reports out of the 10 unclassified reports we are expecting. The first three from this batch of July 2017 reports were:

  • Assessing the Threat from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Executive Report
  • Recommended E3 HEMP Heave Electric Field Waveform for the Critical Infrastructures
  • Life Without Electricity: Storm-Induced Blackouts and Implications for EMP Attack
