Back when we were testing above ground, most stuff was vacuum-tube based. Vacuum tube gear is pretty much impervious to EMP. Transistorized gear and computer gear, not so much.

Anything that hasn’t been EMP/EMI hardened will be fryed. I can’t get into details, but I have been involved in EMP/EMI testing for DOD programs I have worked on. If it ain’t hardened it’s toast.

Also in the case of cars, even though they are run by computers, they are designed to run under rough conditions, heat, cold, high RF environment and so on so perhaps there is a way they can handle EMP as well. I’m into auto parts so I generally know what car parts go through.

Knock me over with a feather, the Atlantic *is* at least three miles deep, so, he ain't lying. Thanks Sub-Driver.

Not a problem. There is plenty of info out there that isn’t classified. Most of it explains the science behind EMP/EMI.
Many electronics text books go into good detail.

A little known fact is that where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge crosses Iceland, it spews people instead of lava.

Mega large pic for detail.
