This technology may be used to render an enemy’s electronic and data systems useless. Instead of a missile that destroys a target along with everything nearby, countries have been wanting to use some thing more efficient like a weapon that knocks out the lights instead which cripples a target without collateral damage.  In the first test, the missile sailed over a two-story building, then let loose microwaves to shut down a room full of computers. It makes battles less messy by focusing on the electronic component instead of the human one.
