High Power Radio Frequency/Microwave (HPM) Directed Energy Weapons (DEW)

An introduction to High Power Radio Frequency/Microwave (HPM) Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) and their effects. The webinar will cover what HPM weapons are, the type of weapons – Narrowband and Wideband, how the weapons are like, but different from traditional Electronic Warfare (EW) and Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), how the HPM energy couples in to a target’s electronics and their effects. We will also cover some of the basic modeling and simulation tools for computing estimating the probability of target failure as a function of weapon power density and range. Finally, we will show an example of how to determine hardening requirements for a notional helicopter against an HPM weapon.
