HPM – High-power microwave weapon

HPM – High-power microwave weapon , recently introduced by China, emits high-voltage bursts of electromagnetic energy to neutralize various targets.

• This weapon was developed following their creation of a compact power source capable of disabling sensitive electronics in various targets.

About the High-power microwave (HPM) weapon:

• The HPM weapon is a directed-energy weapon that emits short, extremely high-voltage bursts of electromagnetic energy across a broad spectrum, including radio and microwave frequencies, to neutralize drones, military aircraft, and satellites.
• It features 4 compact Stirling engines that convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, producing powerful HPM waves.
• Its superconducting coil can generate a magnetic field of up to 4 Teslas, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to existing technologies.
• The weapon can operate continuously for 4 hours and consumes only a fifth of the energy required by previous methods, despite its low efficiency and limited range.
