Boeing’s electromagnetic CHAMP can knock out power with a simple flyby
A stealth aircraft that can send electromagnetic pulses to knock out power is a reality.
That’s the news in this video posted on CNN. The U.S. Air Force has confirmed an “electromagnetic pulse weapon” called CHAMP that it’s developed with Boeing. CHAMP can target and knock out power with nothing more than a flyby.
“We hit every target we wanted to, we prosecuted every one,” Boeing’s project manager Keith Coleman said in the video. “We made science fiction, science fact.”
In addition to just looking cool, CHAMP’s matte black exterior appears to make it almost undetectable at night, enabling it to fly over areas and pinpoint buildings to knock out power — without damage or casualties.
