Book excerpt: " ... This study concludes that high power microwave weapons systems offer the prospect of significant offensive and defensive capabilities for all of the military services. The principal recommendations include the suggestion that the Department of Defense and the Air Force establish a High Power Microwave Systems Program Office for the purpose of developing these weapons and integrating them into the combatant commands. This systems program office should be a joint program office that involves the participation of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps as well as other agencies. Only then will the U.S. military be able to maximize the development of microwave applications, minimize costs, and facilitate the transition of this unique technology to the military services and other government agencies. Not only should defense contractors be encouraged to develop the technical capabilities that would permit them to participate in microwave weapons programs, but this study also concludes that all U.S. military system should be hardened to protect them against the effects of microwaves."--Page v

Book excerpt: The military has long exploited the electromagnetic frequency spectrum, first with "wireless" communications in the late 1800's, and then with the discovery of radar in the 1930's. These technologies quickly evolved into many applications in the military, including advanced early warning, detection, and weapon fire control. Scientists and engineers continued to investigate the frequency spectrum to increase power levels and to develop additional applications. The term "directed energy" was once relegated to science fiction. It would be difficult to find a science fiction novel or movie that does not address directed energy weapons. But "directed energy" is now a scientific fact of life with laser pointers, pagers, fax machines, and supermarket checkout scanners. However, one area of the directed energy spectrum that has received significantly less attention and support is high power microwave technology. In view of the relative paucity of knowledge about microwaves within the Department of Defense, this study examines the role of high power microwave technology and its applications for the defense establishment. In recent years, the modern battlefield has become a "target rich" environment for high power microwave weapons. Except for the standard rifle, gun, knife, or grenade, virtually all military equipment contains some electronics. For example, in the Gulf War, the average squad or platoon of soldiers had numerous devices, ranging from radios to Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, which they used to provide communication and information about the battlefield.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Electromagnetic Weapons A directed-energy weapon, often known as a DEW, is a ranged weapon that inflicts harm on its target by directing a highly concentrated kind of energy towards it. This type of energy may take the form of lasers, microwaves, particle beams, or sound beams. This technology may have a variety of uses, some of which include weapons that target individuals, missiles, vehicles, and optical equipment. Research on directed-energy weapons to counter ballistic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles, and hypersonic glide vehicles is being conducted in the United States by the Department of Defense, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Air Force Research Laboratory, the United States Army Armament Research Development and Engineering Center, and the Naval Research Laboratory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the U.S. Military's greatest strengths, integration of technology, may soon turn into its greatest liability as recent advances in the area of high power microwave (HPM) weapons are garnering interest around the world. Current U.S. military strategy is to develop and maintain its superiority through the leveraging of information technology, but as recent conflicts have shown, potential enemies are likely to attack asymmetrically. HPMs against electronics is an asymmetric avenue to negate the technological advantage of the U.S. Therefore, nations, groups, and/or individuals will likely seek to use HPM weapons against the U.S. This paper argues that the U.S. should continue to research and develop HPM weapon systems that target electronics, discern how an enemy may use them against us, develop countermeasures, and deter HPM offensive uses, particularly those that can have catastrophic results."--Abstract from web site.

Book excerpt: The requirements of this project have been to: (1) improve and expand the sources available in the facility for testing purposes, and (2) perform specific tasks under direction of DNA about the applications of HPM. In the previous program many such tasks were undertaken. In this project the HPM application was power beaming. The requirements of this program were met in the following way: (1) We demonstrated that a compact linear induction accelerator can drive HPM sources at repetition rates in excess of 100 HZ at peak microwave powers of a GW. This was done for the relativistic magnetron. Since the conclusion of this contract such specifications have also been demonstrated for the relativistic klystron under BMDO funding (2) We demonstrated an L band relativistic magnetron, the first of its kind. This device has been used both on our single pulse machines, CAMEL and CAMEL X, and the repetitive system CLIA. (3) We demonstrated that phase locking of sources together in large numbers is a feasible technology and showed the generation of multigigawatt S-band radiation in an array of relativistic magnetrons. jg.
