Brief | A microwave burst (FROM SPACE !) disables anti-aircraft measures. |
When fired directly by a Barkhausen Projector, microwaves are deadly to aircraft. But when launched from space and correctly adjusted, they can save them.
The Microwave burst works at two levels : First, the brief and sudden augmentation of heat disrupts all heat-based targeting such as infra-red. Secondly, the microwaves create a shift in air masses that generate random sounds and prevent correct visual targeting.
Also called "Irony Projector" by scientists due to its resemblance with the Barkhausen.
