The White House has discussed using experimental microwave missiles against North Korea to disable Kim Jong-un’s nukes, it has been reported.
In the event of a war with the dictator the Air Force could use CHAMP weapons to fry the electronics controlling Kim’s latest rockets, stopping them from being launched.
The use of such weapons, which are not yet operational, was discussed at a White House meeting on North Korea back in August, according to NBC news.
CHAMP stands for counter-electronics high-power advanced microwave project and was started by the Air Force Research Laboratory back in 2009.
In 2012 one of the weapons was tested in Utah against electronic equipment that was set up to mirror the capabilities of Iran and North Korea.
The weapon managed to wipe out everything inside the first building it targeted, including the camera recording the test, before going on to target five more buildings then crashing itself at a pre-determined site.
This is the only test of a microwave weapon to have been declassified.
Other tests are believed to have taken place since then to improve the weapon, including mounting it on a missile that is harder to detect and upping the power.
