Thor's system can knock down 10 drones with one blow: What is known about this air defense tool

The new system uses electromagnetic radiation to suppress the enemy drones. The US Air Force Research Laboratory has recently conducted successful testing of the Tactical High-Power Operational Responder system-energy weapons against swarms of drones, Uas Vision reports. The system managed to successfully disable several goals at the test landfill at Kirtland Air Force. Thor uses powerful microwave pulses to disable drones.

Electromagnetic radiation is known to damage the electronic circuits and components of enemy equipment. The Thor's air defense system is capable of generating high -frequency modulation (HCM) pulses with peak capacity of up to 10 megawatts, which is enough to fail even the most reliable drones. This power plant can be transported by various military transport, including trucks and "hammers", which makes it ideal for use in various scenarios, including in advanced positions and urban conditions.

The successful demonstration of the Thor system is an important event in the fight against switches. UAV swarms are a threat to military and civilian objects. They are difficult to detect and track, and they can be used to carry out various purposes, including observations and sabotage.
