An electromagnetic pulse delivery system for delivering a sufficient amount of energy and waveform to induce a current in target electronic components that disrupt or damage those target electronic components and overwhelm any protective circuitry. The system includes a power source in communication with a capacitive discharge system capable of producing an electromagnetic pulse. A mechanical interface including a supply contact in communication with the capacitive discharge system and a return contact in communication with a path to earth ground is provided to deliver the electromagnetic pulse to the target object. Physical contact between the mechanical interface and the object closes a switch disposed between the capacitive discharge system and the supply contact for discharging the pulse into the target object.
