Concrete Wall For Protection Against Electromagnetic Weapons Developed

Omni- Threat Structures (OTS) has developed a concrete wall to shield against Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) weapons as well as ballistic/kinetic and blast attacks.

The electromagnetic shielding concrete wall will protect against threat to critical infrastructure facilities and equipment, the company said in a statement Wednesday.

The IEMI wall can be constructed to protect existing facilities without the disruption of developing an entirely new structure. It is built using shielding concrete. The wall is a cost-effective alternative to steel, steel mesh and extruded steel walls. It is capable of 30-40 dB, of attenuation across the typical IEMI frequency range. At 40 dB the IEMI wall provides 99% shielding, according to the company.

It is resilient to ballistic and kinetic threats, protects against line of sight threats. Transformers' sensors, actuators and other instrumentation can be protected from terrestrial IEMI attacks.
