US Army eyes microwave canon to take out drones
2018-08-11
[FOX] The U.S. Army wants an airborne microwave canon that can take down drones.

The Army is planning to purchase a Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) from Lockheed Martin with the goal to “field UASs with payloads capable of negating adversary UAS,” the Army said in its solicitation notice.

In other words, the Army wants to disable or destroy a drone with an airborne microwave beam.

#1  That's gonna be one freaking huge cannon. Not to mention that microwaves are not aerodynamic and the extension cord is gonna be a problem.
