Abstract
The present invention is a remotely controlled, automated shielding effectiveness test system for hardening against the effects of high altitude electromagnetic pulses. The system monitors and reports the on-going effectiveness of an enclosure that shields electronic devices and communications systems from electromagnetic pulses. The system reports provide information to a user to determine whether corrective action is needed for the enclosure to ensure continued protection of the electronic devices and communications systems within the enclosure. The system comprises providing a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) enclosure enclosing at least an electronic device, and an electronic testing apparatus for testing effectiveness of HEMP shielding of the enclosure; and performing a shielding effectiveness test by the apparatus on the enclosure, comprising a first compression sub-test, a second environment sub-test, and a third final shielding effectiveness sub-test.
