DEFCON™ Vehicle

The DEFCON Vehicle protects modern vehicles from intense EMP fields that damage delicate electronic components and wiring.

Electromagnetic interference can cause permanent failures, stalling the engine control unit and leaving occupants stranded without assistance.

This specialized EMP shield acts to limit induced energy, keeping your electronics safe and functional during a threat. It provides critical security.

The device comes in a weatherproofed package with ring terminals for easy installation across standard battery terminals for maximum connectivity.

Internally waterproofed with potting compound, it uses automotive-grade wire and marine-grade heat shrink tubing for longevity and reliable operation.

The 36″ long cables allow flexible mounting in tight spaces under the hood using the included screws for a secure, permanent fit in your vehicle.

Reliability is paramount in extreme conditions. The heavy-duty housing ensures the internal modules remain protected against vibration and thermal cycling.

By shunting over-voltage, the system preserves the integrity of navigation, communication, and engine management systems even during high-altitude bursts.

The simple three-wire connection system facilitates a professional-grade setup for any car, truck, or SUV, ensuring total vehicle hardening is accessible.

DEFCON Vehicle Questions & Answers

What is this surge protection device?

This ultra-duty surge protection device shunts away 270,000 amps of current using state-of-the-art metal oxide varistor technology for high capacity.

How does the device work?

The unit reacts in less than one nanosecond, draining over-voltage away before it can damage your electrical system or sensitive modules.

Do I need a DEFCON Vehicle if I already have an EMP Vehicle Kit?

Yes, it supplements the kit with 400 times the energy absorption and a power-on indicator light for constant monitoring of your protection status.

Does it work as a stand alone product?

While designed for the Auto Protection Kit, this unit functions perfectly as a standalone transient protection device for diverse automotive setups.

Is there anything this unit is able to block that the Kit can’t?

It offers superior protection against indirect lightning strikes and unwanted transients caused by internal vehicle malfunctions or alternator spikes.

For a diesel engine with two batteries, do I need two units?

Yes, we recommend using two units to ensure both electrical systems are fully protected across the entire power distribution network of the truck.

Does the DEFCON Vehicle work for solar flares?

In the unlikely event a CME couples energy into a vehicle, this device would offer the necessary protection to prevent electronic failure during solar events.

Will the indicator light drain my battery?

The light draws only 9 mA; a typical battery would take over a month to lose 10% capacity, making it safe for daily driven vehicles.

Is there a warranty on the hardware?

The unit comes with a 10-year limited lifetime warranty for your peace of mind and long-term security against manufacturing defects.
