Microwave Weapons

Microwave weapons are a type of directed energy weapon that use concentrated microwave radiation to damage or incapacitate targets. These weapons operate by emitting high-frequency electromagnetic waves, specifically in the microwave spectrum, which can penetrate various materials and disrupt electronic systems or cause harm to human targets. The effects can range from temporary incapacitation (such as pain or disorientation) to permanent injury or destruction of electronic devices. Microwave weapons have applications in military and law enforcement contexts, often for crowd control or disabling enemy equipment. They raise ethical considerations regarding their potential for misuse and the implications of non-lethal weaponry.
