America's Ultra-Secret Weapon

High-power microwaves (HPM) are electromagnetic pulses delivered by cruise
missile. Its electromagnetic pulse can travel through plumbing, antennae,
and ventilation shafts, penetrating even deep bunkers, and frying
electronic and computer circuits with 2 billion watts. Since they might
also interfere with pacemakers and life support in hospitals and aircraft,
the HPM is designed for use only on long-range cruise missiles. The
Pentagon is currently developing HPMs at Kirtland Air Force Base in New
Mexico.
