"Eureka Aerospace’s system consists of a suitcase-sized antenna that weighs roughly 50-55lbs, and can supposedly stop cars in their tracks up to 656 feet (200 m) away. That disabling power only works for more modern cars that rely upon microprocessors and various electronics for their engine, as opposed to pre-1970s cars. Still, Flight International found a Jan. 15 request by the U.S. Air Force for an “air-delivered capability to disable moving ground vehicles while minimizing harm to occupants.” Presumably the Air Force wants to look beyond helicopter-mounted snipers, and so Eureka Aerospace’s device could potentially fit the bill." |
