The United States Air Force (USAF) will soon be armed with new cruise missiles that can destroy all enemy electronics without harming people, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported.
The rocket is equipped with an electromagnetic gun that fires microwave projectiles. When hitting a target, the projectiles cause sudden surges in electricity and disable all electric equipment.
The purpose is to destroy enemies' command, control, communication and computing, as well as surveillance and intelligence capacities without hurting enemy personnel or infrastructure.
"In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy's electronic and data systems useless even before the first troops or aircraft arrive," said Keith Coleman, the program manager of CHAMP.
The new technology will be a breakthrough in modern warfare, as it would save many lives while giving the enemy a huge blow.
