Boeing has successfully tested a non-lethal, microwave-blasting missile that knocks out electronics, instigating a collective shudder from technology apocalypse theorists the world over.
Somewhere over the Western Utah desert on 16 October, Boeing's Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced Missile (CHAMP) knocked out all seven of its targets within an hour, including a two-story building. The system works a little like the electromagnetic pulse in The Matrix, which knocks out the sentinels -- the real-world high-power compact microwave pulse system in CHAMP was developed by Raytheon Ktech.
