Counter-drone tech using microwave pulse systems. Basically fries the electronics mid-flight by overwhelming circuits with high-power RF energy. No kinetic impact needed—just cook the flight controller and GPS receiver until it drops. Works on swarms too since microwaves don't care about quantity, just proximity. Military's been testing these for years but miniaturization is finally making them field-deployable. Frequency tuning is key—you want to hit drone comm bands (2.4GHz, 5.8GHz) without nuking everything else nearby. Power draw is still brutal though, limits deployment to vehicle-mounted or fixed installations. The real engineering flex is beam steering without mechanical gimbals.
