“Too often we measure everything and understand nothing.” according to Jack Welch. So the government decided to take a closer look at high-power microwaves. In his article I will tell you about high power microwaves, its applications, a comparison of two different types, some of the history and research findings. “High Power Microwave (HPM) is an imprecise term used by several communities [1]. In the DoD it refers primarily to the generation of high peak power bursts of narrowband (coherent) electromagnetic radiation that spans "a specific frequency range, according to E. Schamiloglu of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of New Mexico. L he directed energy once belonged only to the everyday life of sci-fi television can now be part of everyday life Laser pointers used for night vision, fax machines for work and product scanners at checkout are the norm, but one. region of the direct energy spectrum that has had much less concentration and interest is that of radar and communications systems with high power microwave technology More specifically “moderate average power, wide bandwidth”, which is used for a release of prolonged power and “active denial technology” which is used for non-lethal crowd control. We have seen in recent times that the government has decided on the role of high-power microwave technology and that its applications should be more targeted at. abolition of defense, but there are many more applications in today's world. In recent years and today the need in modern battlefields is for a “target-rich environment” for high-power microwave weapons. With the exception of standard explosives, knives, and guns, almost all equipment contains some type of electronics. Recently in the Gulf War the only...... middle of paper ......of hearing voices or noises that were not part of the target's mental processes. This way you could literally make targets think he's crazy. HPM is a wonderful, great, horrible technology. In this article I told you about high power microwaves, its applications, a comparison between two different types, some history and the findings in his research results. Directed energy was once just a vision on television, and it will soon change the face of war, crime, our medical world, and the way we view electricity and electromagnetic power. We have just begun to open Pandora's box of weapons and medical miracles. Just as the Internet began as a simple way to communicate with secret agencies and became a core part of the mainstream world, this technology will also spread to our streets and homes..
