High energy microwave weapon: Electromagnetic bomb

Introduction/purpose: Technological progress has led to the actualization of problem construction and use high-energy microwave weapons, especially electromagnetic bombs. However, in recent military-professional literature, this issue is little represented. Methods: The available existing literature on subject was analyzed. Results: It been established that general principles functioning theoretical bases have widely known for many years. Numerous experiments specialized institutions confirmed pulse effectiveness. This true sensitivity devices based semiconductor technology. Also, it assumed that, at current technological level, technical solutions are a large number entities. most common model bomb dealt with realization compression flux generator an oscillator virtual cathode. According authors, variant would ensure final product realistic physical dimensions sufficient strength be useful. Another identified massive absence adequate protection measures against effects pulses. applies not only civilian but also military sector imposes need invest significant resources order subsequently increase resilience. Conclusion: indicates possible make acceptable power. generate power about 10 GW frequency 5 GHz. In combination high-precision even protected successfully disabled. wide presence technology all spheres life makes weapon extremely effective expect its much wider application coming period.
