Chinese EMP-deathray soon.

>AN ELECTRONICS-KILLING RAY HAS A VARIETY OF USES IN WAR.
>For over 6 years, Huang Wenhua and his team at the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology in Xi'an have been working on a potent microwave weapon. This one, which recently won China's National Science and Technology Progress Award, is small enough to fit on a lab work bench, making it theoretically portable enough for land vehicles and aircraft.
>Said another way: it's small enough to be convenient, but powerful enough to totally down enemy electronics. A microwave weapon like this could even be fitted to a missile (like the U.S. CHAMP electronic warfare missile) or drone.
>Generally, microwave weapons shut down electronic systems (even those with traditional shielding against EMP) by bombarding the target with energy pulses between 300 and 300,000 megahertz. This amount of directed energy interferes with and overloads electronic circuits, causing them to shut down. The higher the energy produced by the system, the greater the disruption (and even physical damage for some very high-powered microwave weapons) of the targeted electronic systems like engines and communications systems.
>China can find a wide variety of uses for an electronics killing ray. Defensively, microwave weapons could be part of electronic warfare booby traps, ambushing and disabling enemy vehicles and robots. At close ranges, it can be mounted on vehicles, warships, and even aircraft, to disable and distract missiles, small UAVs and even the personal and vehicular electronics of hostile forces.
>But the real combat potential of the microwave weapon comes in offense. Carried in by a stealthy drone or cruise missile, it would be able to disable sophisticated enemy defenses like SAM and anti-ship missile batteries; fry enemy radars, communications, and control systems; paralyze tank battalions; and even neutralize other EW platforms.

>Computer Killer
>EMP/high powered microwave cruise missiles, like the CHAMP, built by Boeing for DARPA, can sneak into enemy airspace to disable a wide range of C4ISR, air defense, missile and armored targets, even in some cases destroying electronic systems permanently. Such systems will become a necessary part of 21st-century warfare.
Possible that China might have a Sino-CHAMP in the works as well, but probably this tech will result in Directed High Power Microwave missile defense ray guns etc. that would replace the CIWS onboard ships.

holy shit, i hope it actually fires squiggly green death rays at shit

It will be invisible, unless you ignore the splattered remains of tank-crews and pilots who were cooked in their seats.

Not to worried about it. If iron man cant beat it then thor can. And if that fails then its up to the US Navy with the laser weapon they say WILL BE ON SHIP IN 2 YRS. Notice no one said maybe. Fuck china

I don't understand what's supposed to special about this. It's a microwave with a big power source. The US made a similar thing with the area denial thing. We just didn't take it further because it's likely considered a war crimes
to cook people.
That being said, specially shaped conductive metals will instantly turn the entirety of the microwave beam into heat, and there's no way this would penetrate tank armor or probably and steel supported structure. Have you ever put a fork in the microwave?
It's cool, but I hate bullshit.

They should mount this system on a six legged vehicle and call it the "Tarantula".

>>32794097
The US has microwave cannons already.
They call them "radars".
