Abstract
In this paper, economic loss due to high power electromagnetic pulse is estimated and the methodology used for calculating its impacts is suggested using a macro approach. In order to investigate the most critical infrastructure for the high power electromagnetic pulse assault, the vulnerability assessment that provides information on the threats of concern is conducted. As a result, this study concentrates on the electric power networks. The presented assessment model is considered with gross domestic product (GDP) and energy consumption when the electric power networks are damaged due to high power electromagnetic pulse. In addition, economic losses are calculated by the extent of damages considering different types of the high power electromagnetic pulse assault generated by nuclear and man-made weapon. Through the estimation of these damages, the resulted economic loss will be compared with the protection cost. Consequently, protection of the vulnerable infrastructures can be prepared against electromagnetic pulse attack.
