Directed Microwave Beam

Luanching from the ion cannon that most modern militaries use to disable the target of their aggression, Daemun scientists have developed the next step in EMP technologies. Where previous attempts in this field merely attempted to disable targeted electronics, our MPC will effectively destroy it without effecting living beings or inert materials overtly. High Power Microwave technology builds on a firm foundation provided by the EPM Technology. Unlike electromagnetic pulse, however, it has higher frequency content and is much more penetrating into target systems. HDirected Microwave Beam technology produces burnout and disruption in electronics while not affecting humans. It has low collateral damage potential and may be useful in a variety of non-lethal missions.

The beam is formed not from the typical cannon barrel, but instead from an antenna tip with conical dish. With this type of beam emmission we are capable of changing the size of the beam from the merest of a degree to a complete wide brim angle. While widebrim angles make for weaker beam dispersal, as does small degree angle increse effectiveness of the beam, this dispersal disregards most forms of protection that dont already protect against other forms of heat radiaton, as these forms of protection (as well as fewer forms of radiation sheilding, non-ray sheilding) are already designed to prevent the effects of solar rays of a similar nature. Todays warships are ill-prepared for such a weapon, as their current level of defense against microwave radiation, is again, formed against the solar and interstellar variety, which is immensly less powerfull than the directed verions created by the beam, effectively nullifying any protection these systems would have offered to their ships.

The ablative armor matrix of future ships will be adjusted to the frequancy on which this beam operates in order to not adverslay effect Daemun vessels cought in its area of effect, the frequancy modification will be made to that of the exact beam as to not overload ablative matrixs with natural microwave radiation.
