Show Notes
When the lights go out and microchips fry, the survival of a nation depends on its "hardened" infrastructure and the rigorous engineering of military standard 188-125. This episode explores the technical reality of surviving a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse, detailing the specialized hardware—from welded steel vaults to "Doomsday Planes"—designed to keep the world running when the sparks fly. Discover the invisible battle of physics and engineering that protects the global command and control chain against the ultimate electronic threat.
