\nIn my post from February 7,<\/a> I mention directed energy weapons, giving the example of lasers. Lasers for such an application are sometimes referred to as HELs (high energy lasers).<\/p>\n \nAnother type of directed energy weapon is the HPM: high power microwave. Its purpose includes the disruption of electronic function by mimicking genuine signals as well as compromising the properties of semiconductors.<\/p>\n \nSince the physical damage from a HPM may be very subtle, an attack may not be suspected even when hardware is disabled by one.<\/p>\n Source:<\/p>\n ieeexplore.ieee.org<\/a><\/p>\n militaryaerospace.com<\/a><\/p>\nJack of Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Self-tutoring about technology: the tutor continues about directed energy weapons.
