Microwave-pulsing devices also can be used to "fry" the electronics of IEDs. Another device called LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) uses lasers to detect IED explosives within a 100-foot (30-meter) radius. Alternatively, you might not need a soldier to deal with a suspected IED ...

Although these high-power microwave sources generate very high power levels, they tend to generate repeated short pulses. For example, the SINUS-6 in my lab produces an output pulse on the order of 10 nanoseconds, or billionths of a second. So even when generating 1 gigawatt...
This article will explore the destructive world of IEDs -- how they're made and detonated, why they're so prevalent, how they injure people and how to protect people from them. Up next: a look inside the deadly device. Contents Anatomy of an IED IED Impacts Defeating and Detecting IEDs...
The U.S. Army is currently fielding lasers to protect troops from drones launched by insurgents in Iraq. But an MSN piece states “feedback from soldiers thus far indicates significant disparities between laboratory and test range results and actual tactical deployment.” That’s military speak for...
However, the interplay between military and civilian sectors is less cut-and-dry. In fact, technology and talent often flow back and forth between military and civilian roles. Military research has been vital to the creation of the microwave, the Internet, and global positioning systems (GPS),...
Detectives on the case are horrified and try to protect the next victim, but they realize they need to shut down the insects altogether. Instead, the bees' pilot — who seeks no monetary compensation, just chaos— sends them after everyone who ever used the hashtag to target another person...
By mid-1923 workers were being paid as often as three times a day. As soon as the workers got paid, they'd rush to buy some goods before their cash became worthless. Real assets to consider hoarding includereal estate, gold, silver, copper, oil, steel, cars, weapons, watches, matches...
Eventually it was discovered that these transmission were coming from about 100 feet below the ice about 15 miles from the station. An expedition was sent to that location to investigate the area. What they found were not only microwave transmissions, but also radioactive activity as well as a...
Give you instructions to build a simple Faraday cage to protect your electronic equipment. Provide a list of items to put inside your Faraday cage What is an EMP? An electromagnetic pulse or EMP, is an abrupt burst of . EMP energy can be very powerful. Let’s explain that a little bette...
