Salted nuclear weapons are weapons that produce massive radiological fallout. It is achieved by infusing the nuclear warhead with cobalt 59 to produce cobalt 60 upon blast. The term salted refers to the fact that using such weapons will render the blast radius life-free for generations (Figure 3). It can be used as an area denial weapon system with extreme consequences for the environment and all life forms that live within the area other fallout factors aside.

Figure 5: Effect of a high-altitude air burst blast altitude to area of ffect. The use of a high-altitude nuclear blast for the purpose of using of its electromagnetic effect is a way to produce a high-powered pulse to destroy the infrastructure of a country, from the radar and radio systems to the unprotected civilian and military infrastructure. Let's put it this way, all systems will go down in a wide geographic Area based on the altitude and yield of the blast unprotected systems and infrastructure will be destroyed; bridges and pipelines will act as propagating antennas (Figure 5). Communications will not be possible due to the ionization effect of the charged particles for a considerable amount of time in military, communication is the key, even a couple of hours without communication can be considered a major disturbance When we are talking about the altitude, we are talking 200 km and above within to above the ionosphere so the risk of the nuclear fallout is minimum, remember the worst fallout belongs to the ground burst blasts as the famous mushroom cloud sucks away the dirt and mix it with the product of the nuclear fission then scattering it across a large area and when that happens it spreads with the wind and rain [8]. So, airbursts are the safest in terms of fallout.

Figure 6: Classical components of electronic warfare. The art of using the electromagnetic spectrum and using it to plar an offensive and defensive operation is called electronic warfare Electronic warfare is split into two major categories which are active operations and passive operations. The chart below will aid you ir understanding the classical components of electronic warfare (Figure 6).
