GLOBAL DEFENSE's video: A New Soft kill Missile Developed by US Will Microwave Enemy Electronics to Death

A New Soft kill Missile Developed by US Will Microwave Enemy Electronics to Death The Navy and Air Force are testing a new weapon designed to target a critical vulnerability in today’s military forces: modern electronic devices. The High-Powered Joint Electromagnetic Non-Kinetic Strike Weapon, or HiJENKS, doesn’t blow things up or hurt enemies, but literally makes sparks fly, shorting out an adversary’s electronics and rendering them useless. HiJENKS, currently undergoing final testing in the California desert, would give the Pentagon a non-lethal option that could cripple an enemy’s war machine without directly endangering anyone. Modern society is reliant on electronic devices of all kinds. These devices, running on microchips, make possible everything from smart phones to modern cars. But first, here’s a little history on how this device could be useful. # CHAMP # Area 51 # JASSM missile # HiJENKS # AGM-86 # US military storm # Starfish # thermonuclear # nuclear # Pentagon # microchips # military forces
