China’s high-power microwave gun fires 10,000 shots in test, proving new vacuum tech

The feat leverages the latest vacuum-sealing technologies in China’s high-end manufacturing sector to overcome long-standing barriers in HPM durability and miniaturisation, with potential to shift the balance in the global race for next-generation warfare systems. Defence researchers with the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology (NINT) built the technology and conducted the trials, which were documented…

Chinese scientists say they have made converged energy beam weapon a reality

A new type of high-power microwave weapon, which combines electromagnetic waves with ultra-precise timing technology to boost power output to attack a single target, has been developed by Chinese scientists. The weapon system, which has completed experimental trials on its potential military use, consists of multiple microwave-transmitting vehicles deployed to different locations. They then emit…
