Summary
The most likely scenario for an EMP attack on the United States would be a coordinated cyber attack that neutralizes our ability to identify the incoming weapon, followed by an EMP attack aimed at compromising the shielding on military bases. It could be executed using a low yield nuclear weapon, causing no visible signs of a nuclear explosion.
