Missile fries enemy electronic systems as it zooms past
Most military weapons systems rely on sophisticated electronics for control, so if you can somehow knock out the circuits, the weapons will become useless. A new type of missile tested last week by Boeing and the USAF exploits this vulnerability, by zapping selected buildings with microwave energy so powerful that all electronics inside will stop working.
Boeing's CHAMP (Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced Missile Project) missilewas flown over a test range in Utah, where a two-story building was set up with a room full of operating computers. The team directed CHAMP's microwave beam towards the building as it passed, and all of the computers quickly went blank. In fact, every electronic device in the building was disabled, including the cameras set up to monitor the results.
