Electromagnetic mobile active system

A method for generating a scalable electromagnetic effect at a target, the method comprising:

• providing an electromagnetic mobile active system for fitting in a missile, the electromagnetic mobile active system comprising:
• a detonation-operated magnetic field compressor comprising:
• at least one stator coil;
• at least one armature casing, which is at least partially surrounded by the stator coil and is spaced a radial distance from it;
• and
• at least one explosive charge, which is embedded in the armature casing;
• at least one power source;
• a trigger system for detonation of the explosive charge, the trigger system being controllable by a pulse of current from the power source, depending on a distance signal corresponding to a distance between the missile and the target;
• and
• at least one directional antenna for directional radiation of electrical energy generated within the stator coil due to a rapid change of a magnetic field build up in the stator coil caused by the detonation of the explosive charge,
• wherein the stator coil has a high ductility to maintain mechanical integrity of the stator coil for as long as possible during the detonation of the explosive charge;
• and
• triggering the trigger system using the power source;
• detonating the at least one explosive charge based on a predetermined distance of the active system from the target;
• and
• generating an electromagnetic effect from detonating the at least one explosive charge;
• wherein an amount of the at least one explosive charge detonated is preselected based on the target to be hit.
