BAE Systems is developing a microwave gun.
It became known that the company BAE Systems in the near future, will begin to develop microwave weapons that can disable the electronics of enemy ships.
The idea of ​​microwave weapons is not new. " Rays of pain " (which unfortunately did not write on Habré) use microwaves to "control the masses", causing people to feel pain as if they were on fire. And for the USAF, they are already developing a rocket that uses microwaves to burn electronic circuits. The same that develops BAE should be part of the gun capable of sinking the ship.
BAE Press Officer Stephanie Bissell (Stephanie Bissell) confirmed this information in an e-mail: “BAE Systems is developing High Power Microwaves (VMMs) capable, at a relatively large distance, to turn off small engines. means. If it works, this technology can "be used against many different devices, including ships, drones and missile guidance systems."
John Perry, head of the advanced systems development department, told Aviation Week's correspondent that the value of the VMM is in its radiation, which allows striking 30 enemy light ships at a time. After that, other implements can strike at immovable targets.

It is worth noting that BAE is not new to the "games" with microwaves. In December, they received $ 150,000 from the US Air Force to “ bombard ” computers with strong electromagnetic radiation.
