DEFCON Vehicle EMP Protection Kit
The DEFCON Vehicle EMP Protection Kit shields modern car electronics from intense electromagnetic fields. These pulses can destroy engine control units instantly.
An EMP disrupts navigation and cellular connectivity. It leaves occupants stranded without crucial assistance in an emergency.
We developed DEFCON™ Vehicle as a shield. It limits induced energy that would couple into your vehicle's wiring system effectively.
This device ensures the safety and working status of your car. This electrical shield keeps electronics from sustaining permanent damage.
It comes in a weatherproofed package with ring terminals. Components are internally waterproofed using a potting compound for maximum durability.
The device uses automotive-grade wire and marine-grade heat shrink. This convenient form factor installs across battery terminals easily and quickly.
The DEFCON Vehicle EMP Protection Kit fits tight spaces under the hood. 36-inch cables allow flexible mounting away from the battery.
Heavy-duty construction ensures reliability in high-heat engine bays. Quality materials provide long-lasting defense for sensitive microprocessors.
This robust design withstands vibration and the harsh environment of a modern engine compartment while maintaining peak conductivity.

Questions & Answers:
What is the DEFCON Vehicle EMP Protection Kit?
This ultra-duty surge protection device uses state-of-the-art metal oxide varistor technology. It shunts 270,000 amps of current safely.
When combined with TRAP products and ferrites, it provides a comprehensive auto protection system for modern vehicles. This creates layered defenses.
How does this protective hardware work?
It protects by shunting over-voltage in your electrical system. It reacts in less than one billionth of a second for instant response.
Over-voltage drains away before producing damage. The DEFCON Vehicle EMP Protection Kit preserves critical vehicle functionality during surges.
Do I need a DEFCON™ Vehicle if I already have an EMP Vehicle Kit?
It is an excellent addition. It offers 400 times the energy absorption of the TRAP-B module alone for superior resilience and strength.
Does the DEFCON™ Vehicle work as a stand alone product or as a replacement to the EMP Vehicle Kit?
It functions as a standalone device or supplement. It uses metal-oxide varistors for heavy-duty transient protection in demanding environments.
Is there anything the DEFCON™ Vehicle is able to block that the EMP Vehicle Kit can’t?
It protects against indirect lightning strikes better. It also stops transients caused by standard vehicle malfunctions and electrical surges.
When using the DEFCON™ Vehicle and the EMP Vehicle Kit together, is it safe to double up at the battery location?
Yes, it is perfectly safe for both to be hooked up to the battery at once for layered protection and enhanced security.
For a diesel engine with two batteries, do I need two DEFCON™ Vehicle units?
Yes, we recommend two units. This ensures both electrical systems in your diesel vehicle remain protected against spikes and sudden surges.
Does the DEFCON™ Vehicle work for solar flares and CME’s?
Solar flares generally do not affect vehicles. However, it would offer protection if radiated energy coupled into the car electrical systems.
Will the DEFCON™ Vehicle protect my vehicle from lightning?
It may shunt energy from a strike. This prevents damage to sensitive electronic components and processors within the vehicle's computer system.
Will a lightning strike or EMP destroy the DEFCON™ Vehicle, and is it reusable?
An EMP will not destroy it. While a direct lightning strike may destroy any device, indirect strikes won't compromise the robust hardware.
Will the indicator light on the DEFCON™ Vehicle drain my battery?
The light draws only 9 milliamps. Even after a month of storage, it only draws 10% of battery capacity on average for most users.
How do I mount the DEFCON™ Vehicle?
It attaches across a 12-volt battery. Use the 36-inch cables for reach. Review the included instructions and video tutorial for mounting.
What does the indicator light mean?
It shows the unit is receiving power. If the device is compromised by a massive surge, the indicator light will turn off immediately.
Does the DEFCON™ Vehicle work even when my vehicle is turned off?
Yes, the device protects your electronics whether the engine is running or the car is parked in a home garage or outside.
Is there a warranty on the DEFCON™ Vehicle?
The DEFCON™ Vehicle comes with a 10-year limited lifetime warranty for long-term buyer peace of mind and reliable performance.
