I have heard of the new EMP shileding techniqes which are lightweight and affordable and the DoD is looking into the issue and along with congress are confident they can adress the issue but I want to know if the F 22 and F 35 are shielded. I heard the Eurofighter was tested against high levels of EMp and still worked.

No announcement yet.
Are the F 22 and F 35 shielded against EMP

EMP shielding is cheap and easy. Seriously, a lightning strike is much harder and more expensive to protect against than EMP, and protecting something against a lightning strike will also protect it against all EMP.
You would be hard pressed to find any military kit that isn't hardened against EMP - it really isn't the threat bad sci-fi would have you believe.Rule 1: Never trust a Frenchman

EMP and lightning protection seem to be similar but EMp ahs more requirements due to shorther pulse width and rise time.
The electronics in aircraft are subject to severe EMI associated with aviation, and therefore need robust shielding. So airplanes would be expected to escape severe damage from an EMP attack. Likewise, automobiles enjoy substantial shielding because of the EM hazards they often encounter on the roadways. “The roadways are a pretty ugly environment for electronics,” said Gerke. Moreover, the metal in and on the car could block out some of the EMP.
Even our tanks have NBC protection
Features of the M1A1 modernization program include increased armor protection; suspension improvements; and a nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection system that increases survivability in a contaminated environment. The M1A1D modification consists of an M1A1 with integrated appliqué computer and a far-target-designation capability.
here's some on EMP protection

Excellent post by someone who has spent rather more time than I care to think about dealing with the effects of nuclear weapons on targets. Well worth a read:

Sort of yes, sort of no. The thing is that his stories all flow from a single identified change in history - the attempted coup by Lord Halifax and RAB Butler in summer 1940 - and then follow logically on from there.
With the UK changing sides (itself the biggest weak point of the story) Germany does much better and the US is bogged down in Russia fighting the Germans. With this happening far later than historical, but with nuclear weapons developing exactly as historical, a nuclear end to WW2 becomes very attractive. With that happening (200+ devices on Germany wiping them out as a civilization) the way nuclear weapons are treated in our time line just never develops.
The thing I really do like about it is the way he bends the story to fit how a situation would naturally develop, rather than vice-versa.
Oh, and don't compare him to Tom Clancy. It doesn't go down well, and annoying someone who knows that much about nukes is never a good ideaRule 1: Never trust a Frenchman
