Q: Are there really microwave missiles?
A: Yes. A three-year, US$40-million project to launch Boeing Phantom
Works’ Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile
Project (CHAMP) became reality in the Utah desert last October. The
missile — launched from an aircraft before flying over its target —
sends out electromagnetic pulses that are designed to disable any
electronics in a wide area — destroying an enemy’s computers and
communications without killing enemy soldiers or civilians. In the
October test, the missile fired microwaves at a two-storey building
causing all the electronics and computers inside to go dark. Even the
cameras monitoring the test were knocked out.
