Default Focused EMP pulse?

A friend of mine cited a claim in a brand new book, "The Lost Symbol" by Dan
Brown. So said, in it is a claim of a new weapon of choice that is installed
in some USA military helicopters which is cable of aiming an actual EMP pulse
at a target below that destroys computer and electronic equipment of focus to
the pulse! Same as a 'normal' 30Megavolt/Meter EMP pulse from a nuclear
device, or even a huge Solar Burst. As told me they used it recently to
silence an Email production site they had to quickly do so that they couldn't
do any other way, per this book....

Duhh .....

Few people seem to recall the last huge Solar Burst we got here in the USA in
the mid-1800's about the time of the Golden Spike. So history says, it
completely took out most of all the at-the-time telegraph systems which all had
to be rebuilt or replaced.

At any rate, can anyone here conjecture, or better still, teach me how it would
be possible to create and focus an EMP pulse that could be used as described in
an airborne delivery machine? What might the antenna be like?

Just curious.
