The article draws attention to the problem of protection, ensuring survivability in the face of electromagnetic terrorism and, due to the lack of universal means of protection, the importance of developing a methodology of the justification of requirements and calculation of effectiveness of existing means of protection, taking into account the energetic capabilities of means of electromagnetic terrorism.A generalized stochastic model and criterion for the effectiveness of the operation of radio-electronic means (REM) in the conditions of electromagnetic terrorism has been proposed. The basic calculation rations for the determination of the ways and composition of the means of protection, depending on the energy parameters of the means of electromagnetic terrorism, have been given.The main requirements for the protection of means of protection of radio-electronic equipment of energetic objects from the terroristic influence by electromagnetic radiation have been formulated.
