So what did he use for positioning in 1975?
As I understand it, Nuclear EMP only affects electronic devices which are switched on and have a volatile memory... whatever that means. I also understand that it is not difficult to shield tech from the effects of an EMP.
EMP can fry out any sophistocated hard wired electronic circuit. The more sophisticated and micro ized the device the more vulnerable it is.
If I am not mistaken, and there are most likely some military ppl out there who could back this up, but even government equipment is shielded from EMP bursts. The History channel is quite informative; to the best of my knowledge, military equipment has been outfitted to not be affected by Electro Magnetic Pulses.
