DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES\nBob Piemonte is the Director of Governme
 nt / General Purpose Shielding for ETS-Lindgren and coordinates the compan
 y’s efforts in providing EMP/IEMI hardened solutions for both the govern
 ment and private sector\, Many of his projects involve customized solution
 s for customer-specific requirements.  On these\, as well as on large and
  complex projects\, he works closely with ETS-Lindgren’s certified\, int
 ernal BIM team.  He has more than 35 years of experience in the engineeri
 ng and installation of RF shielding systems\, and may be reached at bob.pi
 emonte@ets-lindgren.com.  Bob is based at the company’s facility in Woo
 d Dale\, Illinois.\n \n \nRichard Hoad is a Chief Engineer and Capabili
 ty Leader for Directed Energy Technologies at QinetiQ Ltd.  Richard has u
 ndertaken many years of research looking at emerging disruptive threats to
  military and Critical Infrastructure assets\, particularly for high impac
 t low frequency events. He has helped operators of mission critical and es
 sential services understand their risk to novel threats and has developed 
 tools\, techniques and products which support improved resilience of milit
 ary systems and the Critical Infrastructure.  Richard is the author of ov
 er 60 peer reviewed technical and journal papers on the topics above and i
 s co-author of a book titled ‘HPEM effects on electronic systems’. He 
 is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET)\; registe
 red with the Engineering Council UK (ECUK) as a Chartered Engineer (C.Eng.
 )\; a HPEM Fellow of the SUMMA foundation\; a QinetiQ Fellow\; and a Membe
 r of the Register of Security Engineers and Specialists.\n \n \nMODERATO
 R\n \nFrank Sabath (M’94–SM’04) received the Dipl.-Ing. Degree in 
 electrical engineering from the University of Paderborn\, Paderborn\, Germ
 any\, in 1993\, and the Dr.-Ing. degree from the Leibniz University of Han
 nover\, Hannover\, Germany\, in 1998. In 2020\, the Leibniz University of 
 Hannover\, Hannover\, Germany awarded him the right to teach electrical en
 gineering.  Since 1998\, he has been with the Federal Office of Bundesweh
 r Equipment\, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw). Fro
 m 2011 to 2017 he was head of the directorate on Nuclear Effects\, High-Po
 wer Electromagnetics and Fire Protection of the Bundeswehr Research Instit
 ute for Protective Technologies and CBRN-Protection (WIS)\, Munster\, Germ
 any. In 2017 he took over responsibility as head of the Directorate on Det
 ection. Dr. Sabath is Senior Lecturer in the field EMI Risk Management at 
 the Leibniz University Hannover\, Germany. He is the author or coauthor of
  more than 150 papers published in international journals and conference p
 roceedings (orcid.org/0000-0001-6702-3715). His research interests include
  investigations of electromagnetic field theory\, High-Power Electromagnet
 ics\, investigations of short pulse interaction on electronics\, and impul
 se radiation. Dr. Sabath served as Ultra Wide Band (UWB) co-chairman of th
 e EUROEM 2004\, Magdeburg\, Germany as well of the EUROEM 2008\, Lausanne\
 , Switzerland. Currently he is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transaction
 s on EMC\, member of the Board of Directors of the IEEE EMC Society and pa
 st chair of the IEEE Germany Section EMC Society Chapter. Due to his outst
 anding service the EMC Society presented him the Laurence G. Cumming Award
  in 2009 and the Honored Member Award in 2012. He is the current Editor-in
 -Chief of the IEEE Letters on EMC Practice and Applications (LEMCPA)\, pas
 t president of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Society\, and 
 a member of Antennas and Propagation (AP)\, Microwaves Theory and Techniqu
 es (MTT) Societies\, and of URSI Commission E.\nEMP/HEMP Detection\, Prote

 agnetic Pulse (EMP)                           \
 nBy Mr. Bob Piemonte\, Director of Government / General Purpose Shielding\
 , ETS-Lindgren\, Wood Dale\, IL\n \nAbstract:  This presentation will p
 rovide a brief overview on the theory and history of electromagnetic pulse
 .  While formerly a concern addressed primarily by Government entities\, 
 new commercial requirements are increasing to protect utilities\, financia
 l institutions\, data centers\, and other essential public services agains
 t EMP events.  The vulnerability of these essential services that society
  is heavily dependent upon raises the concern for critical infrastructure 
 to be resilient to an EMP event.  Practical solutions currently available
  and implemented for EMP hardening of systems will be discussed for both c
 ommercial and government applications.  Existing and evolving standards a
 nd recommendations for EMP protection of “the grid” and communications
  in terms of EMP hardening will also be reviewed.  Attendees will learn a
 bout protection solutions to harden and protect critical systems from the 
 adverse effects of EMP events.\n \nHPEM Detection as Part of a Toolkit fo
 r HPEM Resilience\nBy Dr. Richard Hoad\, MSc. C. Eng\, FIET\, SMIEEE\, Chi
 ef Engineer & Capability Leader\, QinetiQ Ltd.\, UK\n \nAbstract:  In se
 veral civilian sectors\, organizations have been grappling with the challe
 nge of mitigating HPEM threats such as High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse
  (HEMP) and Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI). It is patentl
 y clear that methods that work perfectly well for time urgent military cri
 tical facilities\, i.e. those designed to meet MIL-STD-188-125\, are too o
 nerous and too inflexible for today’s let alone tomorrow’s critical in
 frastructure needs. This presentation tries to articulate the difference b
 etween a traditional HPEM Protection way of thinking and an HPEM Resilienc
 e approach. Examples and benefits of HPEM detection will be provided. \n
