Description:	The HIPOW Project aims to develop a holistic regime for protection of critical infrastructures against threats from electromagnetic radiation. The holistic regime will include guidance regarding hardening measures and robust architectures, a suggested effect of uncertainty on objectives [Click for more information]risk management process applicable on organizational level, input to standards and guidelines applicable for critical infrastructures on national and European level. The project will conduct real experiments and tests on components and systems that constitute parts of critical infrastructures and develop a prototype sensor that can detect radiation. Based on the experiments the project will recommend detection and protective measures.
