In this paper, the EMP-related standards and test methods used by the civilian and military have been introduced. The incoming EMP signal for seven military RF antennas which are the first to face EMP threats among military weapon systems have been also measured and analyzed. Overall, as the applied signal strength increased, the strength of the EMP signal entering in the antenna also showed an upward trend. The highest level of entering was observed at the peak value of the applied EMP signal, 50 kV/m. And at the peak value, all antennas received threatening signals. In particular, antennas in low frequency bands such as AM and FM were getting high voltage signals as high as thousands of volts. This means that the weapon systems linked to the antennas could suffer severe damage. Therefore, based on this paper, systematic research for EMP threat should be conducted to identify EMP vulnerabilities of major weapons systems and to devise practical protective measures.
