The facility is the largest wood-and-glue laminated structure in the world. Aircraft tested
here are subjected to up to 10 million volts of electricity to simulate the effects of a nuclear
explosion and assess the "hardness" of electrical and electronic equipment to the EMP
pulse generated by a nuclear burst.
