What is the effect of emitter/EMI on the THAAD launch control network?

Electromagnetic interference can disrupt data links and sensor readings in the THAAD launch control network. EMI from nearby emitters or environmental sources can couple into cables and RF links, causing bit errors, garbled messages, or lost synchronization. If not mitigated by shielding and robust error handling, these disturbances can lead to incorrect sensor data, missed commands, or degraded performance. Shielding, proper grounding, filtering, and physical separation reduce how much EMI reaches sensitive electronics, while error detection, retries, and redundant links help preserve data integrity when interference occurs. EMI does not simply go away with digital data, and it certainly does not improve data throughput; without adequate protection, EMI degrades reliability and speed.
