Perhaps these the well-known lines from Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, when Hamlet contemplates life and death—and suicide, also apply when considering today’s existential threat to America and all of Western Civilization posed by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) event.

The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system is the most versatile missile defense system in the U.S. arsenal, thanks to the Navy Team’s “can do” attitude since its beginning.
