Amin, “National Infrastructures as Complex Interactive Networks,” Chapter 14 in Automation, Control, and Complexity: An Integrated Approach, T. Samad and J. Weyrauch, Eds. (John Wiley and Sons, NY, 2000). IEEE SPECTRUMNov. 2003 The Threat Terminology HPM is loosely applied to both narrowband and ultra-wideband high power microwave systems. This is DoD usage. In the civilian standards community IEMI (Intentional Electromagnetic Interference) is used synonymously with HPM. Copyright ?2003 N.Y. Times. Reprinted by Permission.
