Abstract
High-power microwave (HPM) weapons use electromagnetic waves to neutralize electronic hardware, making them an ideal candidate to defeat drones. The effectiveness of HPM weapons is determined by their intensity, their spatial effect profile, and the mobility or spatial location of the HPM weapon platforms. NPS researchers have developed modeling approaches to perform mission-level studies of effects of such weapons, including determination of optimal tactics, determination of minimum platform specifications for mission success, and trade-off analysis between parameters.
