After receiving four high-power microwave prototypes designed to stop drone swarms, the US Army is preparing to send them on to the Middle East to see how they perform, according to Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George.
Col. Dave Butler, a spokesman for the Army chief, later confirmed that once all the necessary approvals are in place, all four Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High-Power Microwave (IFPC-HPM) prototypes are bound for somewhere inside CENTCOM.
“The idea here is to get the soldier, developer and the tester sitting next to each other in a real-world environment adjusting the capability to make it better,” Butler added.

This Technique Isn't All That New, It Was Used On Us In Cuba In The Guantanamo Bay detention camp, As Far Back As The 1960's And Currently Believed The Russians Are Using It On Us, And Have Been Doing So For Decades... As We Probably Have Been Using It Too. ~~
This Isn't News, It's Almost A History Lesson, With A Twist In It's Use..

I have looked into swarm technology and programming, it's going to get rude on everyone.
