Agenda
Protecting UK Critical Infrastructures Against Electromagnetic Attacks
Host: Ilhem Toumi
Info: Ilhem Toumi from ETS-Lindgren addresses UK/EU/NATO regulatory frameworks and the integration of practical protective measures to ensure compliance and resilience across civilian and military domains.
HEMP and Threat to Modern Electronic Systems
Host: Vincent Keyser
Info: MPE's Vincent Keyser examines the rising threat of High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) and its potential to disrupt modern electronic systems, showcasing HEMP and TEMPEST power line filters designed to protect mission-critical assets and information security.
GNSS resilience in the Age of Electronic Warfare
Host: Gustavo Lopez
Info: Gustavo Lopez examines current countermeasure technologies, alongside government and industry responses to safeguard PNT. Sharing insights from a public jamming test campaign in Norway and how this can help prepare, protect, and respond to emerging GNSS threats worldwide.
Signals from Space - How our Reliance on GNSS Could be our Downfall
Host: Bernhard Czar
Info: Bernhard Czar delves into our reliance upon space systems and the far-reaching consequences of the rise in jamming and spoofing. Highlighting the importance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)-quality assurance and GNSS spectrum monitoring, both military and civil.
COTS In Critical Infrastructure: Bridging The EMC GAP
Host: Richard Hardy
Info: This talk focuses on Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) equipment, particularly IT, Security and Housekeeping systems that are commonly specified for use in Critical and National Security Infrastructure projects, leading to significant issues with EMC assurance.
TÜV SÜD experts regularly work on such projects and here present a 360 degree approach including review and down selection of target systems, desktop analysis of extant EMC test results and GAP analysis, RF site surveys, targeted laboratory EMC testing and remedial actions in the event of non-compliances together with final post installation on-site EMC testing to keep these complex projects on time and on budget.
