Mark,
Top marks for the guy who thought of using this EMP for a Gatso.
But looking further than that why bother with the stinger device which the Police employ. Although I must admit it gives me some enjoyment watching them use it on TV. Why not have a Policeman on the side of the road with an electro pulse widget to bring the fugutive to an halt. Although thinking on, it wouldn't stop my wifes Maestro TD which has no electronics.
For a moment there I was thinking of joining the inventors club.
With all this high tek what a knife edge we must all be living on.
If cars have computers which can be knocked out, all other service we depend on must have similar components including water, electric and gas.
Take me back to the good old days when breaking down on the continent was no big deal and the local blacksmith, part time motor mechanic could cobble something together with his compulsory gaulloisse fag hanging from his mouth.
Perhaps President Bush should be informed that star wars could be simplified by having an EMP screwed to a satellite which could blast the missile launchers computer chips before it launches its rocket.
I'm sure you guys could cobble something together for a fraction of the cost.

An EMP stinger device has been developed (in the US) but I don't know if this has been employed yet.

one of the main problems with an EMP based weapon is that of focus. In basic terms the pulse is indiscriminate in its aim and spreads in a circle of strength decreasing over distance according to its initial energy from the point of discharge.
With regards to starwar type weapons the emp emitting device would have to be very close to its target and reletively low strength when deployed or else it would take out friendly items such as any other nearby satelite or other objects.
A deathray however could be much more targetable, if only I could get the parts.
