DAYTON, Ohio - The Air Force expects planes will be able to fire non-lethal microwave rays at enemy ground troops with the help of a new superconducting generator system developed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base after about 25 years of research.
Heavy, inefficient generators have been a hurdle to the development of airborne microwave weapons, which create a disabling burning sensation.
