In 2012, at a range in Utah, the Air Force tested the deployment of a missile that could be launched into enemy airspace, sending out bursts of microwave energy to disable electronic devices such as computers, radar systems and possibly even an ICBM.
The program, Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), is making headlines this week for a few reasons. First, it’s a non-kinetic weapon, meaning no collateral damage. Second, it may be a practical solution to a possible ICBM launch by North Korea.
