ABSTRACT:
A high power microwave/radio frequency radiating projectile that stores electrical energy in a Pulse Forming Line network. Electrical energy is converted to high power microwave/radio frequency energy by a subnanosecond switch either in a single pulse mode or a repetition rate mode.
The high power microwave/ratio frequency energy is then radiated by an antenna built into the projectile. The heavy power supply required for providing the high voltage necessary for charging the pulse forming line network is not part of the projectile but is contained in the launching gun, or as ancillary equipment to the launching gun.
