Objective The electromagnetic environment is becoming worse than before in the modern warfare. Whether ammunition of high value and high technology that contains electronic components and electro-explosive devices can play a role in the complex electromagnetic environment, has become a problem that need to be solved in the weaponry construction. Methods In order to ensure the reliability of ammunition, shielding fabric materials were used as the packaging lining or shielding tarp for ammunition of high value and high technology, to improve its ability of anti-electromagnetic interference in the complex electromagnetic environment. Results The preparation technologies of various electromagnetic shielding fabric materials, blended fabric, chemical metallized fabric, vacuum metallized fabric and shielding coating fabric, were analyzed, including their advantages and disadvantages and present status. The research progress of amorphous alloy fabric shielding effectiveness was briefly introduced. Conclusion The electroplating amorphous alloy fabric will be the emphasis in the development of electromagnetic shielding materials in the future.
