The organization has conducted three demonstrations of the new technology.
This isn't the Pentagon's first demonstration of the technology. It conducted two more
last year in the spring and fall. This most recent test took place during a whole week from April 4 to 22 at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. “What we primarily focused on in that first week for high-power microwave was how well the effector emitted,” Michael DiGennaro, the test team lead for JCO’s acquisition and resourcing division, said during a May 11 media roundtable.
“We were looking at range to engage the targets that were inbound and the amount of time it took to either deter or defeat the target."he Epirus system proved successful in its assigned activities, and it “was able to defeat targets in the range that is normally associated with what is currently in the field, and has the promise to be a little bit more effective in the future.
“We had five very complex architectures out there,” DiGennaro said. “Each of them brought a host of different components for detection, identification, tracking, and defeat, and we tested against each of those components both individually and then as a system, culminating in a ‘defend the forward-operating base’ scenario.”
