The DEFCON Vehicle is an ultra-duty surge protection device specifically designed to protect a vehicle’s electronics from damaging electromagnetic energy resulting from an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Constructed using state-of-the-art metal oxide varistor technology, the DEFCON Vehicle is capable of shunting away an incredible 270,000 amps of current! When combined with the lightning-fast Transient Reducing Auxiliary Plug (TRAP) products and high-saturation current-damping ferrites, the DEFCON Vehicle is the latest addition to the world’s first comprehensive EMP auto protection system. This device is made in the USA and constructed from the highest quality materials.
Modern vehicles are heavily reliant on electronic components, controlling every aspect of the vehicle. An EMP’s intense and rapid electromagnetic field can induce powerful electrical currents and voltages in the vehicle’s wiring and delicate electronic components, leading to severe damage. This electromagnetic interference can result in critical system upsets and permanent failures, stalling the vehicle and even destroying its engine control unit.
An EMP can disrupt satellite navigation systems, cellular connectivity, and communication with emergency services, leaving occupants stranded and without crucial assistance. Because of this realistic threat, we have developed DEFCON™ Vehicle to act as a shield against an EMP for your vehicle. The idea behind it is simple. The DEFCON™ Vehicle is designed to limit the induced energy that would couple into your vehicle, keeping its electronics from becoming damaged, and ensuring the safety and working status of your vehicle.
The DEFCON Vehicle comes in a weatherproofed package with ring terminals for easy installation and attachment. The module is also internally waterproofed using a potting compound. The device uses automotive-grade wire, ring terminals, and marine-grade heat shrink tubing, and comes in a convenient form factor for use across the battery terminals.
The DEFCON Vehicle can be installed in tight spaces under the hood of your vehicle using the holes and mounting screws. The ring terminals fit most battery post bolt clamp screws. The 36″ long cables let you install it as close or as far away from your battery as needed.
