4. Your right
But it has some information on the subject. I didn't see much come up at DOD on the web. But I didn't look very hard. If you want athoritative info though. I would go to Janes.

A B-52 bomber sits atop the TRESTLE electromagnetic pulse (EMP) simulator at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico
