It is kind of that.
It discombobulates circuits, meaning it basically has a whole different sorts of attacks that it can do to
take down a radar or confuse a radar, confuse an operator of a radar, amongst other things, cellular stations, different electrical base stations and things like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's completely different.
So it's hard because the microwaves are invisible.
It's hard to kind of see the differences.
And so when you're looking at attacking electronics, most electronics
use pulses.
They use pulses to do like a radar will send out a pulse, and then it returns a pulse.
So you're using a system that leverages a lot of pulse power.
And that means your peak power is very high, your average power in comparison is very low.
Whereas a microwave oven or something that is tuned towards like biological things has a very high average power.
Your peak and average power are equal because you're trying to get a very, very high continuous power or beam on like a human being or on a chicken in a microwave or something that you're trying to heat up.
And so you design the microwave system very differently.
You choose different frequencies.
You operate it much, much differently.
And then if you do it on the safe side, which some companies have done, they do it up at W band, which is a way high frequency that you hear about the skin and stuff getting
needles and stuff and feeling like, well, that's just kind of heating the skin.
