SEC. 2. REPORT ON FOREIGN DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE WEAPONS.

(a) In General.--The Director of National Intelligence shall submit
to the appropriate congressional committees a report--
(1) on the research, development, testing, and deployment
programs of foreign countries relating to--
(A) electromagnetic pulse weapons;
(B) delivery systems for EMP weapons; and
(C) platforms for carrying EMP weapons delivery
systems; and
(2) that identifies each foreign country that is pursuing
an EMP weapons program, including the means of delivery and the
platforms, and describes the scope of such program.
(b) Contents.--The report required under subsection (a) shall
include, with respect to each country identified in subsection (a)(2)
the following:
(1) An estimate of when the EMP weapon program began.
(2) An estimate of the scope of such program.
(3) A description of the technical characteristics of the
weapons that are being pursued under such program.
(4) A description of how far such program has advanced.
(5) A description of any sources of assistance with respect
to EMP weapons provided to or by such country and, in the case
of assistance provided by such country, a description of to
whom such assistance was provided.
(6) An assessment of how EMP weapons have been or are being
incorporated into the national security and military strategies
of such country, with a specific focus on whether such
strategies assume that an EMP weapons attack can achieve
effects similar to a direct nuclear attack, but not be subject
to the deterrence calculations normally applied to nuclear
weapons.
(7) A description of what kind of tests such country has
conducted with delivery systems, including ballistic missiles
and satellite launch vehicles, that demonstrate the capability
to deliver EMP weapons.
(8) An assessment of whether such country is conducting
research and development on the effects of EMP weapons,
including whether such country is assessing the vulnerabilities
of such country to EMP weapons and the ability of such country
to survive an attack making use of EMP weapons.
(9) An assessment of whether such country has tested an EMP
delivery system from a platform (including a ship or aircraft)
that could serve to expedite the achievement of an active EMP
weapons capability against the United States.
(10) An assessment of whether such country perceives the
United States to be particularly vulnerable to an EMP weapons
attack.
(11) A description of the elements of the research,
development, test, and deployment program for EMP weapons of
such country, if any, that are designed as countermeasures to
defensive options for defeating EMP weapons attacks.
(c) References to Other Reports.--The report submitted under
subsection (a) shall include a copy of any other report that is
incorporated by reference into the report submitted under subsection
(a).
(d) Unclassified Summary.--The report submitted under subsection
(a) shall include an unclassified summary of such report.

and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of
Representatives; and
(B) the Select Committee on Intelligence and the
Committee on Armed Services of the Senate.
(2) Delivery system.--The term ''delivery system'' means
any means for placing an EMP weapon in a location where the
explosion of the weapon will have an intended damaging impact
on electrical power systems, electronics, information systems,
and other infrastructure that depends on such systems.
(3) Electromagnetic pulse weapon.--The terms
''electromagnetic pulse weapon'' and ''EMP weapon'' mean an
explosive weapon that generates electromagnetic fields that
have a high likelihood of damaging electrical power systems,
electronics, information systems, and other infrastructure that
depends on such systems.
(4) Platform.--The term ''platform'' means any system
capable of serving as the launch point of an EMP weapon
delivery system.
Student:
