Research abstract
THIS DOCUMENT PROPOSES RESEARCH ON THE FABRICATION OF A FAMILY OF EMP HARDENED CONNECTORS AND CABLE HARDWARE FOR AIRCRAFT AND SHIPBOARD APPLICATIONS. THESE CONNECTORS AND CABLE HARDWARE WOULD SUPPRESS EMP TRANSIENTS THROUGH THE INTEGRAL INCORPORATION OF A THIN FILM, HIGH SPEED, HIGH CURRENT OVONIC THRESHOLD SWITCH (OTS). CABLES AND HARDWARE OF THIS TYPE WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE SURVIVABILITY OF AIRCRAFT AND SHIPS UNDER EMP CONDITIONS.
