@RAMPAGE In military terminology, a nuclear
warhead detonated hundreds of kilometers above the Earth's surface is known as a high-
altitude electromagnetic pulse
(HEMP) device. Typically the HEMP
device produces the EMP as its primary damage mechanism. The nuclear device does this by producing gamma rays, which in turn are converted into EMP in
the mid- stratosphere over a wide area within line of sight to the detonation.
