New Superweapon: U.S. Missile EMP Burst Kills Computers And Electronics Selectively
Cruising fast over the Western Utah Desert, a lone missile made history at the Utah Test and Training Range. The missile, known as CHAMP, or Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced Missile Project may one day change modern warfare, by defeating electronic targets with little or no collateral damage.

Power is cut to a room of computers after being hit by a high-powered microwave pulse from a Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced Missile Project.
CHAMP approached its first target and fired a burst of High Power Microwaves at a two story building built on the test range. Inside rows of personal computers and electrical systems were turned on to gauge the effects of the powerful radio waves.
Seconds later the PC monitors went dark and cheers erupted in the conference room. CHAMP had successfully knocked out the computer and electrical systems in the target building. Even the television cameras set up to record the test were knocked off line without collateral damage.
“This technology marks a new era in modern-day warfare,” said Keith Coleman, CHAMP program manager for Boeing Phantom Works. “In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy’s electronic and data systems useless even before the first troops or aircraft arrive,”
In all, seven targets were hit using CHAMP’s high power microwaves in the one-hour test that degraded and defeated the electronics inside the test buildings.
James Dodd, vice president of Advanced Boeing Military Aircraft, part of Phantom Works said there is a real need for a weapon that can defeat a target and not cause harm to people and structures.
“We know this has some capabilities and some impact, we’re really trying to engage the customer to see if there is a way we can actually get this fielded and implemented sooner than later,” Dodd said.
Coleman, who led the Boeing team in the historic test flight, says the team is currently analyzing data and telemetry from the test that many consider a big step in modern non-lethal warfare.
“Today we turned science fiction into science fact,” Coleman said.

Raytheon is the corp that weaponized HAARP. This bomb does more than what they are saying. It does horrifying things to the skin when exposed to the blast.
Another toy for the destruction of mankind. Little do they know the power we all have within our souls. Soon it will be discovered and peace will rule this world, not the Elite. A spiritual human being has the power of Source, and not some cheesy man made bomb.
This is not new! Iran has an EPFCG device (Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator) The Russian developed this in the 60′sand passed it to Iran! As far as I am concerned if this war starts everything and I mean everything American becomes a target for destruction!
The reason why this roomful of computers went dead is because they are obsolete and were en route for the dump anyway. Just look at them!
But the most interesting aspect of this story is that these psychopaths have a Directed Energy Directorate team. Ten years after 911 they are beginning to acknowledge the truth about the DEW that vapourized the Towers.
Dr Judy Wood was telling you this ten years ago.
But predictably, you preferred to believe in “thermite” and other fantasies.
This is, as has been mentioned already, NOT a new weapon or concept. The danger of ANY rogue nation getting a nuke is losing a city in the west … it’s losing ALL of them. A nuke generated EMP burst over central Europe or North America would FRY the grid. We wouldn’t have power in some areas for 3 to 5 YEARS.
These rogues don’t need to nuke anybody. Cause a massive EMP and sit back and watch the inhabitants kill each other in the chaos that would follow!
So America having a weapon to be reckoned with is a bad thing?? Why would you want your country to be anything but #1 in anything? Patriotism can have many facets but surely pride and respect for this country and her future have to make some of you stand up and say hey I am glad America has that weapon to combat our enemies. Please no world peace crap, Man cannot live in peace that has been demonstrated through the centuries. Our military is the most powerful in Human History, that is an amazing fact. I am not aware that older versions of computers were inadequately ‘shielded’ against EMP’s as opposed to modern PC’s are you? What were the results of YOUR tests HereAm I???? Armchair General.
