Claim 18:
19. An electromagnetic grenade comprising:
a standard shell casing configured to be launched, the standard shell casing has a standard size, the standard size of the standard shell casing is a standard 40 mm cartridge case, wherein the standard shell casing is configured to work with small arms, artillery shells, bombs, missiles, rockets, submunitions, or loitering munitions, wherein the standard shell casing is configured to work with guided and unguided ordinance;
an explosively pumped flux compression generator housed inside of the standard shell casing, the explosively pumped flux compression generator including:
a power source configured to store an explosive charge;
a capacitor bank;
a solenoid; and
a standard fuse, the standard fuse is selected from a group consisting of: an impact fuse, an air burst fuse, a proximity fuse; and a fuse designed for target penetration;
an explosive;

wherein, when conditions of the standard fuse are met, the power source charges the capacitor bank with the explosive charge, and the capacitor bank charges the solenoid with the explosive charge;
wherein, once the solenoid is charged and has alternating polarities of electrons, the explosive detonates, thereby creating a shower of electromagnetic pulse configured to damage or disable electrical equipment;
the standard shell further including an internally reflective ogive, wherein the internally reflective ogive of the standard shell is configured for tuning of an electromagnetic frequency of the electromagnetic pulse created by the electromagnetic grenade; and
wherein the internally reflective ogive of the standard shell includes nanomaterials, wherein the nanomaterials of the internally reflective ogive of the standard shell are configured to generate a charge with energy supplied by friction as the standard shell travels through an atmosphere.
