THOR is designed to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by sending out a high-power, short pulse of microwaves to disable electronics through overwhelming critical components intended to carry electrical currents.
On October 22, 2012, Boeing announced a successful test of the missile. [3] CHAMP disabled seven different targets before self-destructing over empty desert. [4] [5]The U.S. Air Force expected to have technology for a steerable counter-electronics weapon “available” in 2016, when a multi-shot, multi-target, high-power microwave (HPM) package would be tested aboard an AGM-86 ALCM.
Some devices are described as microwave weapons; the microwave frequency is commonly defined as being between 300 MHz and 300 GHz (wavelengths of 1 meter to 1 millimeter), which is within the radiofrequency (RF) range. [40] Some examples of weapons which have been publicized by the military are as follows:

MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio) is a directed-energy non-lethal weapon designed by WaveBand Corporation in 2003-2004 for temporary personnel incapacitation. [1] The weapon is based on the microwave auditory effect resulting in a strong sound sensation in the human head when it is subject to certain kinds of pulsed/modulated ...
The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military, [2] designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control. [3] Informally, the weapon is also called the heat ray [4] since it works by heating the surface of targets, such as the skin of targeted human beings.
