Boeing Has Perfected A Missile That Wipes Out Electronics And Leaves Everything Else Intact

While the U.S. geared up for the second presidential debate last Tuesday, an unoccupied building sat pulsing with computers, electronic surveillance, and security systems in the Utah high desert.
The unoccupied site was awaiting the test of a weapon the Pentagon requested four years ago to the day on 16 October, 2008. The Counter-Electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), led by Boeing's Phantom works, promised to change the face of contemporary warfare, and its test was a complete success.
CHAMP flew over the Utah Test and Training Range last Tuesday, discharging a burst of High Power Microwaves onto the test site and brought down the compound's entire spectrum of electronic systems without producing any other damage at all. Even the camera recording the test was shut down.
Struggling to contain his enthusiasm Boeing's Keith Coleman says, "We hit every target we wanted to. Today we made science fiction into science fact."
Coleman spoke from a Boeing video (below) that shows the results of the test, inside the computer filled building. Flying over the largest testing range in the country, CHAMPS took out seven different targets before self-destructing over empty desert.
While James Dodd, VP of Advanced Boeing Aircraft says he hopes to implement the CHAMP sooner rather than later, it's just one weapon in a growing arsenal meant to take down increasingly sophisticated foreign radar systems.
Passive radar is being heavily marketed abroad as the system to use if a country wants to identify U.S. stealth planes including the forthcoming F-35. The passive system evaluates a wide spectrum

As I recall, military equipment is hardened against EMP and has been for decades. Generally all it takes is a metal enclosure and some sort of a high breakdown voltage device shunting all input terminals, particularly antenna terminals.
Why do we know about this???
Isn’t anything secret anymore?
When they become cheap enough, I want to buy one to use on the drivers who insist on vibrating my car with their stereo when in close proximity to my car. Zzzzt! Aw...silence and peace.
Old technology. I’ve been able to make any electronic device malfunction just by being close for years.
KEEP YOUR EMERGENCY GENERATOR AND ANY ELECTRONICS YOU WANT PROTECTED INSIDE A METAL BOX OR CAGE
MY house is constructede using metal lathe and plaster- I can barely get a cell phone signal out
I am hoping this offers me some protection but even then I am storing necessary stuff in protected metal boxes
*Hint* an old refrigerator is a metal box (put some air vents to avoid mold)
The reason we should maintain landlines particularly underground fiber optic transmission is reliance on Cell Phones. A poof from the Sun and whoosh they’re gone.
In more rational times this weapon would not be known about publicly until there was also a counter capability that would not be made known. Perhaps that is the case now but I rather doubt it. The kenyan probably won’t give it away o the Russians and/or Chinese and perhaps not even to his coreligionists if he is planning to initiate the New Caliphate in the new Islamic capital of DC or Ne York. Far fetched? Consider the continuing islamification of the Administration. If he is still president next year that process will be accelerated and we will begin to get some serious sharia EO laws and they will be enforced. Much of the change we will see will be ostensibly Socialist but all will be compatible with sharia.
Bigger hint: Dead microwaves are useful faraday cages.
When you and I know about these things...secrecy is no longer needed/desired.
Obama will do as much damage as he can get away with, with plausible denial.
It's as simple as that. I've been expecting this for four years.
I’m rather surprised that they didn’t lay hands on an old style, spring operated film camera. They probably couldn’t buy an old one, but they would not be hard to fabricate, being rather simple technology.
Included in the deal would also be a bunch of animals in wooden cages, plants and microbes, to test for long term medical effects. No matter what they found it would be useful information.
Come to think of it, instead of going wide band to fry electronics, if they could create a much more powerful burst on the narrow microwave band at 2.45 GHz, the frequency used for cooking, that missile could be far more interesting.
The Transistor Neutron Dance.
The first two are windup, mechanical laptop computers and cell phones, and the last is a steam-powered Terminator robot from the future.
Several people make light of Odunga selling our secrets, but, these acts are no joke. Bo and his band of cons, crooks, criminals, and queers, have access to it all. Make no mistake, our secrets will be given, sold, and used by Bo et al to further undermine our country. I made this same statement prior to the 2008 election, and nobody responded.
Only a very old badger would make such a statement. Red, we don’t live in the tube world anymore. Now, if I could just find a pickup without any solid state circuits.
If he loses and can’t get it through the Courts or other means, he won’t even feel that he needs plausible denial in the period between the election and the inauguration. It is then we will see what he can do with EOs.
