The Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) is a joint concept technology demonstration led by the Air Force Research Laboratory, Directed Energy Directorate at Kirtland Air Force Base to develop an air-launched directed-energy weapon capable of incapacitating or damaging electronic systems [1] by means of an EMP (electromagnetic pulse).
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.

China has been developing high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons in recent years with the potential to disrupt sensitive electronic components, including radar systems, computers, communication ...
On 23 January 2023, Epirus was awarded a $66.1 million contract by the Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) to deliver the Leonidas to the U.S. Army as part of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High-Power Microwave (IFPC-HPM) program after outperforming six other systems. Four prototypes were to be produced by 2024 ...
The Raytheon Phaser is a directed-energy weapon developed by Raytheon Technologies that uses high-power microwave electromagnetic radiation to destroy hostile drones, which technically makes it a maser rather than a phaser.
The RFDEW was developed against the backdrop of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Israel-Hamas War and the Red Sea crisis which have each highlighted the importance of cost-effective counter-UAV systems. [7] The system was revealed following a government pledge to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030. [8]
Bofors HPM Blackout is a high-powered microwave weapon system, built by BAE Systems, which is stated to be able to destroy at distance a wide variety of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronic equipment. It is stated to be non-lethal to humans. The total weight of the weapon system is less than 500 kg. [1]
