Abstract

The article discusses the URSI Council´s resolution on criminal activities using electromagnetic tools adopted at the Toronto General Assembly (August 1999). Criminal activities using electromagnetic tools are an outgrowth of more familiar disciplines: electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). In this case, however, the terrorist produces the offending currents or radiation intentionally. Accidental radiation can cause severe and inopportune damage to electronics, so those fields or more severe field levels can certainly also be intentionally impressed on vulnerable equipment. The EMC community must be prepared to deal with new threats as they emerge
