An article I can now only find on Drudge's archives:

Reports on the U.S. military's reluctance to use what seems to be some
kind of new non-nuclear EMP device because of concerns about damage to
civilian infrastructure. This led me to wonder about the impact of EMP
weapons on many of the weapon systems I see being developed, especially
UAVs, other unmanned combat platforms and the generally fast-evolving
C3I architecture of the future battlefield. If we can EMP them, what
stops them from EMPing us? Aren't UAVs very exposed to EMP
countermeasures? How difficult is it to make a big, non-nuclear EMP? I
know some on the list must know why this isn't a no-starter ...
