Say goodbye to drones in restricted airspace, and hello to the Tactical High Power Microwave Operational Responder (THOR). Engineers at Kirtland Air Force Base only took 18-months and $15-million to complete the project. THOR states that they create a counter electronic effect, since they target the drones and drop them. This implements a hard kill on those drones, and drops them directly out of the sky.
The military anticipates a major problem will be swarms of drones operating in concert when it wouldn’t matter if one or two are taken down. This system solves that by effectively being designed to take out a large number of drones all at once and has a further range than bullets or nets.
