Counter-Electronics High Powered Microwave System Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP)

Abstract

CHAMP demonstrates and assesses a multi-shot and multi-target aerial High Power Microwave (HPM) platform that is capable of degrading, damaging, or destroying electronic systems. A compact HPM payload will be integrated into an aerial vehicle to create the aerial HPM platform demonstrator. CHAMP is a multi-year project under sponsorship of U.S. Pacific Command for transition to an Air Combat Command program of record. The primary outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated are: (1) delivery of the HPM aerial system to the target; (2) minimum effectiveness HPM range; (3) stand-off distance from launch to target; (4) multiple geographically separated targets; and (5) navigation, orientation, and fuzing accuracy.
