High-altitude Burst


What is a high altitude nuclear burst?

A high altitude nuclear burst refers to the detonation of a nuclear weapon at an altitude typically above 30 kilometers (about 18.6 miles) in the Earth's atmosphere. This type of explosion produces an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can disrupt or damage electronic systems over a wide area, potentially affecting cities and infrastructure far from the blast site. Additionally, it creates a significant ionization in the atmosphere and can lead to various radiation effects. High altitude bursts are of particular concern for national security due to their potential to incapacitate a nation's critical capabilities without causing immediate physical destruction on the ground.


What are four parts of an aerial shell?

Shell casing: Outer paper or plastic casing that encloses the explosive composition. Burst charge: Explosive material within the shell that propels it into the air and causes it to burst. Lift charge: Propellant at the base of the shell that launches it into the air. Fusing system: Mechanism that ignites the burst charge at the desired altitude.


Why does a radiosonde observation rarely extend above 100000 feet in altitude?

A radiosonde observation typically doesn't extend above 100000 feet in altitude because the air pressure is very low at high altitudes, causing the radiosonde balloon to expand and eventually burst. Additionally, the instruments on board may not be able to function properly under extreme conditions.

What is a highaltitude burst?

A high altitude burst is typically a nuclear warfare term. It refers to when a nuclear bomb is detonated at very high altitude. This doesn't cause very much physical destruction, but it causes an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) burst that can destroy most electrical systems. This is especially dangerous because it can cause computer databases to fry, short-circuit equipment on planes and cars, and pretty much take out the infrastucture of a city.

Do nuclear bombs explode?

Nuclear warheads are pretty flexible, and can be set to detonate in several ways, and in all mediums: 1. Underwater (e.g., ASROC) 2. Atmospheric (high altitude (EMP burst) or low altitude air burst over target 3. Contact / Terminal coordinates (e.g., GPS) detonation on land or at sea 4. Underground penetration and detonation 5. Timer set on device placed in any location

Which type of nuclear burst occurs 100000 feet but the fireball?

A high-altitude nuclear burst or high-altitude detonation occurs above 100,000 feet. This type of burst produces an intense burst of electromagnetic energy known as an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can disrupt electrical and communication systems over a wide area without causing significant physical damage on the ground. The fireball is not present in a high-altitude burst because the detonation occurs above the Earth's atmosphere.


Does a high-altitude burst cause the purposeful dissemination of radioactive material across an area without a nuclear detonation?

No, a high altitude burst usually reduces the fallout generated, also it is a nuclear detonation.


In a typical aerial burst how many explosions take place?

In a typical aerial burst, only one explosive charge is detonated. This causes the payload carried by the device to disperse and detonate in the air, creating the desired effect.
