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.
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]
This is effective at intercepting drone swarms; while a laser needs time to burn through one at a time, an HPM can fire in an arc to disable multiple at once and refire in rapid succession. Compared to hard-kill methods for engaging drones, THOR's radio bursts have a wider engagement range, are silent, and are instantaneous.
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 [55] by means of an ...
The ADS works by firing a high-powered (100 kW output power) [13] beam of 95 GHz waves at a target, which corresponds to a wavelength of 3.2 mm. [14] The ADS millimeter wave energy works on a principle similar to a microwave oven, exciting the water and fat molecules in the skin, and instantly heating them via dielectric heating.
A vircator (VIRtual CAthode oscillaTOR) is a microwave generator that is capable of generating brief pulses of tunable, narrow band microwaves at very high power levels. . Its application is mainly in the area of electronic warfare, by way of interfering with electronic equipment such as radars or radio equipm
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.
Champion Homes was founded in 1953 as a single manufacturing facility in the small town of Dryden in rural Michigan by Walter W. Clark and Henry E. George. [4]In 2005, Champion was the first manufacturer to build privatized modular housing for the military.
