UK develops radio-wave weapon, Radio Frequency Directed Energy Weapon (RFDEW), to disable drones and vehicles at up to 1 km range.

The UK is developing a radio-wave weapon, called Radio Frequency Directed Energy Weapon (RFDEW), that can disable drones and vehicles by disrupting or damaging their critical electronic components. This cost-effective alternative to traditional missiles has a range of up to 1 km and can be used across land, air, and sea. The technology is being tested by British soldiers over the summer and aims to provide an affordable air defense solution.
