High Power Microwaves

The integration and use of technology to control and operate various systems has proliferated throughout the world. However, this technology, which is comprised of semiconductor devices such as transistors, is extremely vulnerable to high power electromagnetic radiation. Although such technological systems are vulnerable to conventional armaments such as high explosives and phosphorous munitions when in the open area, they can be easily protected by means of armor or overhead protection. These barriers to conventional weapons are not necessarily barriers to electromagnetic radiation. HEM Technologies proposes to build an electromagnetic radiation power source capable of producing a short high voltage pulse train for 40mm to 155 mm rocket and missile platforms such as 2.75 in rockets and Hellfire. In addition, the explosives in the power conditioning system will provide secondary blast and fragmentary effects providing a dual capability for the system. The commercialization of this product will apply to a variety of applications. In particular the product may be used in a variety of extreme conditions as a power source, either primary or emergency.
