HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah (CBS St. Louis) - Boeing successfully tests a new
missile that can take out electronic targets with little collateral damage.

The aerospace company tested the microwave missile last week on a two-story
building on the Utah Test and Training Range where computers and electronic
systems were turned on to gauge the effects of the missile's radio waves,
according to a Boeing press release.

The missile, known as CHAMP (Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced
Missile Project), fired a burst of High Powered Microwaves at the building,
successfully knocking out the electronic systems and computers, and even
taking out the television cameras recording the test.

"This technology marks a new era in modern-day warfare," Keith Coleman,
CHAMP program manager for Boeing Phantom Works, said in the press release.
"In the near future, this technology may be used to render an enemy's
electronic and data systems useless even before the first troops or aircraft
arrive."

 

Seven targets were taken out in total during the one-hour test which left no
collateral damage.

Coleman believes this can be a huge advancement forward in non-lethal
warfare.

"Today we turned science fiction into science fact," Coleman said in the
press release.

James Dodd, vice president of Advanced Boeing Military Aircraft, is hoping
to get these microwave missiles in the field sooner rather than later.

Members of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy
Directorate and Raytheon Ktech also took part in the test.

Boeing Defense, Space & Security division is headquartered in St. Louis.
