Compact High Power Radio Frequency Directed Energy (HPRF-DE) Source (Navy/USMC)
Abstract
This project tests state-of-the-art HPRF magnetron microwave tubes and solid state power modulators, and evaluates the non-lethal effects offered by this technology. This approach provides the warfighter a capability between “shouting and shooting” by delivering electromagnetic energy that will disrupt, disable, or potentially destroy critical vehicle/vessel electronic circuitry. Completed Phase I Open Air Effects Testing and initiated Phase II Radio Frequency Output Characterization Test Planning in FY 2017. Although this project did not meet the one million dollar threshold, it was included in this section because of a large investment in FY 2016.
