This DARPA WARDEN grant is for advancing the field of Waveform Agile Radio-frequency Directed Energy. The primary purpose is to extend the range of high power microwave (HPM) back-door attack capabilities by a factor of ten beyond current state-of-the-art. This ambitious goal will be achieved through innovative research and development focused on extreme power, broadband amplifiers, and sophisticated agile waveform techniques. These techniques will combine frequency, amplitude, and pulse-width modulations to significantly improve electromagnetic coupling and enhance disruptive effects on targeted electronics. The grant aims to push the boundaries of RF directed energy for critical applications.
