Northrup seems to be continually successful in this endevour. 100 kw power level is pretty much guranteed. It's not an anti-tank type of weapon since the British designed chobahm armor will probably stand up to it for quite a bit, but it completely changes the art of warfare since it will be used as an anti artillery type device. I mean, how do you fight a modern ground war while being denied artillery capability? It would completely screw the attacking force rendering and religating them back to something of a Napolionic type time where the only way to fight would be through direct means only. Indirect means would be completely eliminated. Anyway, the thoughts on how screwed ones army would be having been denied indirect fire capability against an enemy cannot be denied.
