Death for satellites: China creates a firing microwave weapons with a capacity of 10 GW

Details transmits South China Morning Post, referring to the article of a group of scientists from the Academy of Military Sciences of NVAK and a key laboratory of advanced science and technologies in high -frequency waves of high power. According to the media, in the future a new weapon can affect space satellites.

Judging by the description, the concept provides a compact relativist electron-beam device that uses a heterogeneous structure of a slow wave and precision control with feedback for generating rapid sequence of microwave pulses with a duration of less than nanoskeck. The basis of the work is the phenomenon of "overgoing", which promises unprecedented peak power, efficiency and speed of firing. Computer modeling shows that the system generates the first pulse with a peak capacity of 16.

6 GW, increasing the input capacity with the efficiency of transformation to 143%without violating the law of conservation of power. Instead, the system used coherent, avalanche -like radiation of tightly grouped electrons. The subsequent impulses maintained a capacity of more than 10 GW, each lasted only 0. 77 nanoskeconds, with a central frequency of about 9. 7 gigaghertz.

Such characteristics will allow to go beyond restrictions that have long restrained the development of powerful microwave weapons. Earlier they wrote why the Russian complex of microwave radiation "furore" failed and did not get to the front. For the first time, the system was presented in 2015 as a means of combating UAV and high -precision weapons. Meanwhile, the United States is planning to increase the LEONIDAS microwave weapon range. The Epirus manufacturer received $ 43.
