EM protection and weapon proposals

Post by nick87720z »

Technology of EM protection could be available after EM weapon research. I already described it additionally in cyborgs proposal, but i'm not sure, is it possible at all to hide under something from EM wave in real life. EM impulses may be avoided by using shielding, which is more likely to be part of armor.

EM armor should have at least 2 properties: reflecting ratio and induction delay. If several impulses hit with relatively big delay, it is not to be useful. For cooperation they should hit close to simultaneously.

About internal effect. Though shielding is never ideal, some lowest level of damage should not even affect electronics. Above such level effect may be different:
- bad aiming,
- visibility problems (affected sensors)
- full electronics disability
- and all this is for different time period, depending on damage level
- too powerful impulse could even burn some electronics, what is like physical damage and needs repairing, including self-repairing.

EM impulses may have different strength, depending on EM weapon research level (add some MK upgrades), and armor EM shielding may have different reflection level in same way. Multiple EM weapons, shooting same target at one time, could easily penetrate shielding.

And make EM weapon penetrating, at least as much as flamer.
Those, who sacrifice culture for bit of freedom don't diserve any.
