Microwave weapons are excellent tools for affecting entire drone swarms.




Microwave weapons. They are directed energy weapons (DEW). Those weapons use microwaves to affect targets. That effect is needed. When. The system needs to affect an entire drone swarm in one shot. The microwave weapon. It is basically radar. It operates with extremely high energy levels. So. It’s possible to transform regular radar into a microwave weapon. In. That case. Microwave radar raises its transmitting power. To a destructive level. So that it can destroy drones’ electronics and even melt their shell.  

Microwave weapons can also disturb or even destroy manned aircraft. Microwave weapons can also warm things like ammunition. And that can detonate ammunition in the ammo shacks.  Microwaves turn an area into a no-go zone. There. The troops cannot go. The microwave system can cause pain. But more high-power systems can also kill attackers. The system can form a microwave wall. That wall can detonate grenades before they hit targets. 

But those weapons are also effective. In. The hands of attackers. The microwave transmitter can be used with drone attacks to shut down high-tech defense. The tank can use microwave domes to destroy ammunition and drones. The only problem with this type of defense is that it needs electricity. 

There are three types of microwave weapons. 


1) Jammer that disturbs communication. 

2) EMP (electromagnetic pulse) that destroys microchips. 

3)The deadly EMP that melts metal. When coherent microwave hits a human. It. Causes a hydrostatic shock. This means the system explodes cells. That effect can be deadlier than any bullet. Can cause. 

Transmission power determines the category. The jammer system can seem very effective. But its radio transmissions make it a good target for anti-radiation missiles. Anti-radiation missile.  It can be shot from air, sea, or ground-based platforms. The EMP weapon can destroy a missile’s electronics. And third systems can melt the aircraft’s shell. Microwave weapons can affect multiple targets.

There are over 20-year-old articles about the EMB (Electromagnetic Bombs). Those systems are effective both offensively and defensively. Microwave weapon. It can be used with stealth bombers and fighters to protect them against anti-aircraft missiles. 

The same way. Defenders can use microwaves to protect their own targets. 

At the same time. But. MASER (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) makes it Possible to create highly accurate microwaves. The microwave weapon can be a group of masers. That are on a rotating platform. 

Microwave weapons can also be mounted on satellites. In some visions, microwave systems are one tool. That can protect orbital data centers. Orbital data centers, reconnaissance satellites. And military communication satellites. They are the primary targets in next-generation conflicts. Satellites are point targets. And they can control things like smart weapons. The problem is that. Attacks against civilian satellites are crimes. There is a possibility. That enemies can buy time from opponents’ satellites. This means that a hostile actor can use Western satellites to control drone swarms against countries that own those satellites. 

Communication satellites can control drone swarms. This means. That. Any communication satellite can assist with military operations. This means those satellites require something. That protects them against ASAT weapons. The satellite can have high-power capacitors. 

The ASAT weapon. It can be an air- or sea-launched missile. Those missiles can also be launched from the silos. Or from regular rocket sites. The ASAT missile can use a conventional microwave weapon against satellites. The microwave burst can destroy a satellite’s electronics. But the microwave weapons. It is a multipurpose tool. The satellite can carry high-power capacitors. They store energy in them. When the satellite needs its microwave weapon. That electric power is conducted into the weapon. 

It is a multipurpose tool.

This kind of system can be mounted on hypersonic missiles and hypersonic gliders. The system can use a wind turbine generator to create high-power microwaves. Those microwaves can damage defenses. They can shut down vital components. And deny even missile launches. Weaponization of microwaves is one of the things. That causes resistance in the UN. 

The power satellite transmits energy on the ground using megawatt-class power. The power satellite, or satellites. They can aim their energy transmitters. At. One point. The satellite can use radio or microwave frequencies to transmit energy to the ground. If that energy is high enough, it could even melt electric wires. It can. Cause structural damage to stealth aircraft. The heat. That impacts stealth material. It can destroy its stealth ability. High-energy radio waves or microwaves can act as EMP impulses that destroy computers.

DNA computers get a new boost.



“Researchers have developed a DNA computer that performs mathematical calculations using molecular interactions rather than silicon chips. Credit: Shutterstock” (SciTechDaily, Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power)

From. The point of view of nanotechnology. Molecular computers are one of the most important types of computers. Those systems could control extremely small machines and turn cells into biorobots.  The idea behind those computers is similar to a spring. The spring can also transmit data. As well as other things. Like fluids and air. In those cases, we can talk about acoustic computers. 

When we send an impulse through the medium. The wave. It can be 1, and the area between waves can be zero. The same way springs and spring-shaped molecules can transmit data. 

DNA-based molecular computers are a reality. Those systems are slower than silicon-based computers. But they are smaller. And they can operate without an external energy source.  Those systems. They don’t need as much energy as silicon-based systems. Those systems are slower than silicon. 

“To build the computer, the team combined a small drop of water and salt with short pieces of DNA and a longer DNA scaffold in a test tube. The mixture needs only a little heat to get started and is then cooled, allowing the computation to proceed.” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power)

“Prof. Woods explained the motivation for exploring other forms of computing. “Silicon-based computers use so much energy – 23% of Ireland’s electricity goes into computing and data storage. We’ve been blinkered by only seeing one type of computer, but there are other examples around us, including our brain.” (ScitechDaily, Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power)

“The researchers ran ten programs, including 100-bit computations. In one experiment, the computer added numbers. In. The range was about 11 million to 34 million. It took up to 14 hours to reach a result. The system also demonstrated robustness and reusability, performing up to 25 different calculations in a row.”  (ScitechDaily, Scientists Build a World-First DNA Computer That Runs Without Continuous Power)

They can control things like nanomachines and biorobots. In visions, they can operate inside cells. Or they can turn a cell into a robot. This system. It can be the next step in medicine. It could revolutionize things like surgery. And those systems can control intelligent tissues. 

Those intelligent tissues, like intelligent skin. They can operate as molecular microchips. That intelligent skin can use hybrid processors. Their microchips transmit data to them. Using neurons. The “intelligent skin”. It can be the plant cell. That means the molecular computer. It can be an intelligent plant or an intelligent leaf. The system can use the cells from electric eels.  That produce electricity as the power source. The electric eel’s cells. They can act as a power source. For regular microchips. 

Unlike electronic computers. DNA-based computers use molecular interactions. For. Data processing. Unlike a regular computer. The DNA computer. It doesn’t require a constant power supply. The DNA computer can use the liquids in the cell to operate. 

The DNA computer uses interacting strands in water. The system could also use interactions between water and DNA. That interaction can be vertical pressure waves. In. In that case. The pressure waves travel in the same line as the DNA. Or. Between two DNA bits. These systems. They can also be used. For programming cells. This ability to transport information into neurons. It will be the key to repairing neural damage. 

And a gate to one version of immortality. The DNA nanomachines can copy the internal brainwaves with extremely high accuracy. If. We think. About. The ability to clone humans. Those inner brainwaves play a critical role in mind upload. And copy those brainwaves into the descendants' brains. That thing requires more accurate systems. Than just using cortical brain waves.

Data center warfare is part of high-tech warfare.



“Ukrainian Drones Knock Out Supercomputers at Two Yandex Data Centers. Yandex confirmed fires and full shutdowns at its Sasovo and Kaluga sites on back-to-back days, October 8 and 9, after drones hit supercomputers tied to training its YandexGPT model and disrupted services for Russian Railways and MegaFon“.(Startupfortune, Ukrainian Drones Knock Out Supercomputers at Two Yandex Data Centers)

The third closed data center is in Vladimir. That data center provides data services to the Moscow region. And agencies like the GRU, FSB, and the Russian Aviation Institute can use that data. 

“Yandex shut down its data center in Vladimir, east of Moscow, after a drone strike damaged its infrastructure on October 11, the company said in a Telegram alert. The outage disrupted Yandex services as the company assessed the damage and worked to restore operations; the Associated Press reported it was the third strike on Yandex facilities in four days.” (LetsDataScience, Yandex Shuts Vladimir Data Center After Drone Attack)

Things. like automated and semi-automated systems require complex codes. To operate.  Data centers provide a platform to run and train AI. To operate in that area. Denying drone communication. Using jammers is more complicated than people thought. Jammer bases are in the radio transmitters. Those transmitters send radio signals that should deny data communication between the operator and the drone. 

The problem is in radio transmission. That makes jammer systems vulnerable to anti-radiation missiles. The aircraft or drone. It can shoot anti-radiation missiles against those radio transmitters. And the radio jammer works only If. it can operate on the same frequency as the drone. This means that the opponent operator knows those frequencies. When. The drone is jammed. 

The operator can shoot anti-radiation missiles from ground vehicles. Or they can shoot those missiles from airplanes. Anti-radiation missile. It can be effective against drones. But only if the missile and its operators know the drone’s command frequency. The anti-radiation missiles are shot from rocket launchers. They can be destructive tools. If. The operators find the right radio frequencies. And these kinds of systems require lots of data. 

Data centers play a central role in modern warfare. Those centers serve as information tools. And disinformation tools. They serve as data processing systems. Those systems. They. Can be used to program drones. They can also carry out cyberattacks. Those attacks are important. If. Those operators want to know. 

Where. Somebody is moving. Things. Like. Hacked traffic surveillance cameras can tell where some interesting things are moving. Hacked telephone centers can uncover enemy plans. And the big problem is how to make software. That those attacks require. 

We must remember. That without cyberattacks, things like the elimination of the Iranian leaders are impossible. Reconnaissance aircraft and satellites cannot. recognize people. Who enter cars in a garage. The system sees cars. But it cannot recognize people. Who sit in a car. Or the person’s precise location. Who is in the house. 

Cyberattacks allow attackers to see things. Like operation plans. Hacked cameras and access controls also give more interesting data. Like. Who the next commander of enemy forces is. Or who has private conversations with enemy leaders. 

Updated firewalls and antivirus software can make old programs useless. The operators must generate new code. That the antivirus cannot detect. This requires AI-based systems. Attackers must generate lots of code.

 In a short period. These kinds of systems require data centers. 

Data centers are vulnerable and high-value targets.  Trolls are operating using those data centers. And destruction makes it hard to run AI agents. And bots on platforms. The remarkable detail is this. Some far-right and Pro-Trump campaigns. On the net turn silent. When the Ukrainian drones attacked the Yandex data centers.

Yandex attack doesn’t end Russian campaigns. But it decreases them by about 50%. Another thing is that Yandex is part of the “Russian Google” infrastructure. This means: a major Part of the Russian data travels through those data centers. Governmental organizations like Roskomnadzor use those data centers to control the internet. 

Yandex closed a Vladimir data center. Near Moscow. That data center could serve the FSB for data processing. At least it provided very important data capacity for the Moscow region. The FSB used that data. For. Targeting their strikes against opposition. Knocking out those supercomputers makes it harder to control the system. 

This makes those data centers very high-value targets. In the same way. In Kyiv. Data centers provide their support. For. Intelligence analysis. And. The ability to predict air strikes. Attacks against data infrastructure affect the ability to operate.
