      ➢ HPM field couples to antennas ➢ in-band HPM energy at receiver➢ vulnerable components: low noise amplifiers (LNAs), limiters➢ effect is generally damage➢ can achieve EW-like effects with upset➢ control/guidance systems involve digital electronics➢ HPM field couples to control wires (e.g. UAS), internal cables (e.g. missile)➢ effect typically disruption of digital electronics
