'Bombing' Them Back To The 30s.

"For years, scientists have been attempting to create such a weapon as part of Champ, or the Counter-electronics High-powered microwave Advanced Missile Project.
Now, the US Air Force claims it has advanced the technology, and says it can deploy it using the stealthy Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range (JASSM)."

"According to Foxtrot Alpha, once integrated into JASSM, Champ will be a 'first day of war' standoff weapon.
Because it can be launched by both bombers and fighters, Lockheed's Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, or JASSM, is an ideal platform for Champ.
'The capability is real … and the technology can be available today,' said Major General Thomas Masiello, the Air Force Research Laboratory.
'That's an operational system already in our tactical air force'
In 2012, aircraft manufacturer Boeing successfully tested the weapon on a one-hour flight during which it knocked out the computers of an entire military compound.
During Boeing's experiment, the missile flew low over the Utah Test and Training Range, discharging electromagnetic pulses on to seven targets, permanently shutting down their electronics."
