Meet China’s Anti-Drone High-Energy Microwave Weapon System

At this year's Zhuhai Airshow, one of the most exciting pieces of military technology on display is a massive truck-mounted microwave weapon system. This system is part of at least three different high-powered microwave weapons designed to take down drones. These advanced weapons are part of a global rush to develop better ways to stop drones, and China is making significant progress in developing and exporting these powerful microwave and laser systems.

The Zhuhai Airshow, officially called the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition, is a major event where countries and companies show off their newest technology. This year, a lot of attention is on China’s growing ability to use directed energy weapons (like microwaves and lasers) to combat drones. These weapons use high-energy beams to destroy or disable drones, which is becoming more important as drones are used more in modern warfare.
