DAFI10-2601 covers all Air Force systems and equipment, including aircraft, weapons systems, communication systems, radars, and any other electronics that are vulnerable to EMP events.

What is the objective of the Electromagnetic Pulse Survivability Program?
The objective of the Electromagnetic Pulse Survivability Program is to enhance the resilience and survivability of Air Force systems and equipment against EMP events, ensuring their ability to operate during and after an EMP event.

What are the responsibilities of unit commanders under DAFI10-2601?
Unit commanders are responsible for implementing the EMP Survivability Program within their respective units, conducting EMP vulnerability assessments, and ensuring that appropriate protective measures are in place.

How often should EMP vulnerability assessments be conducted?
EMP vulnerability assessments should be conducted at least once every three years or whenever there are significant changes in equipment, operations, or threat conditions.

What are some measures that can be taken to enhance EMP survivability?
Some measures that can be taken to enhance EMP survivability include shielding sensitive electronic components, implementing surge protection devices, employing redundant systems, and training personnel on EMP response procedures.

Are there any specific training requirements for personnel under DAFI10-2601?
Yes, personnel involved with the operation, maintenance, and protection of Air Force systems and equipment are required to receive training on EMP awareness, response procedures, and proper handling of equipment during an EMP event.

Can Air Force units seek assistance from external sources for conducting EMP vulnerability assessments?
Yes, Air Force units can seek assistance from external sources, such as Department of Defense agencies or specialized contractors, for conducting EMP vulnerability assessments if necessary resources or expertise are not available within the unit.
