HARDENING AGAINST HIGH POWER MICROWAVE CUAS
WHAT ARE HPM Weapons?
HMPs (High Power Microwave Emitting Weapons) use high energy microwave pulses to defeat drones by:
- Fusing Internal Electronics: Delivering microsecond voltage surges that instantly melt silicon microprocessors and circuit board traces.
- Blinding Communications & GPS: Overwhelming radio receivers to sever ground control links and satellite navigation locks.
- Destabilising Flight Sensors: Injecting electromagnetic noise directly into MEMS gyroscopes, triggering violent over-corrections and mid-air crashes.
- Shorting Power & Propulsion: Tripping motor controllers (ESCs) and inducing power bus short circuits to cut rotor thrust instantly.
WHY ARE THEY A THREAT?
While they are only a few active HPMs in service, they are increasingly becoming a primary method of CUAS for adversary forces, and pose a recognised threat to blue UAS forces.
End-Users are increasingly expecting demanding HPM Resistance, Proofing, or Hardening for any reasonable procurement.
HOW CAN I PROTECT MY SYSTEMS?
Whether unmanned systems or munitions, protection against high powered microwave weapons is now a non-negotiable.
