The Role of High-Power Microwave Weapons in Modern Warfare

商品描述

This book is the result of Dr. Latha Christie's deep understanding of high-power microwave devices, acquired over several decades, and her excellent ability to analyse and present a difficult subject in a comprehensive and convincing manner. The timing of this book is highly appropriate, as the character of warfare is rapidly evolving towards contactless, non-lethal capabilities that minimise human casualties and collateral damage. I recommend this book as a valuable resource not only for engineers, scholars and students, but also for defence analysts, military planners and all those interested in understanding The Role of High-Power Microwave Weapons in Modern Warfare in its totality.

Prof. Lalit Kumar, BITS Pilani; formerly Chairman, CEPTAM, DRDO, New Delhi, and Director, MTRDC, DRDO, Bengaluru, India

Key Features:

  • Covers HPM source classes (relativistic, vacuum/vircator, NLTL/solid-state, gyro-devices), emission mechanisms and coupling into targets, providing a unified and detailed treatment.
  • Presents a five-subsystem view (energy storage → pulsed-power → HV switching → source generation → emission & coupling) and follows through to antenna/coupling, EMC/EMI, measurement, test protocols and system integration--bridging component physics to fieldable capability.
  • Uses concrete case studies and documented demonstrations (CHAMP, THOR and allied trials) to translate effects science into mission planning for counter-UAV, base and shipboard protection, expeditionary concepts and space/airborne options.
  • Provides checklists, hardening and mitigation techniques, vulnerability trade-offs and test procedures to support acquisition, operations and sustainment teams.
  • Addresses attribution, export-control/dual-use concerns and arms-control implications and concludes with an explicit research agenda to guide funders, policymakers and think tanks.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書展現了 Latha Christie 博士對高功率微波（High-Power Microwave, HPM）裝置的深厚理解。這些理解來自數十年的研究與實務經驗；同時，她也具備卓越的能力，能以全面且具說服力的方式分析並闡述這個艱深的主題。本書出版時機十分恰當，因為戰爭型態正快速朝向非接觸式、非致命性的能力發展，以盡量降低人員傷亡與附帶損害。我推薦本書作為工程師、學者與學生的重要參考資源；對於國防分析師、軍事規劃人員，以及所有希望全面理解「高功率微波武器在現代戰爭中的角色」的人士而言，本書同樣極具價值。

Lalit Kumar 教授，BITS Pilani；印度新德里 DRDO CEPTAM 前主席，以及班加羅爾 DRDO MTRDC 前主任

主要特色：

• 涵蓋各類 HPM source（相對論性、真空式／vircator、NLTL／固態式、gyro-devices）、發射機制，以及能量耦合至目標的方式，提供統一且詳盡的處理架構。

• 以五個子系統的觀點呈現整體系統：能量儲存 → 脈衝功率 → 高壓（HV）切換 → source 產生 → 發射與耦合；並延伸討論天線／耦合、電磁相容性（EMC）／電磁干擾（EMI）、量測、測試協定與系統整合，串聯從元件物理到可部署能力的完整鏈結。

• 透過具體案例研究與有文獻記錄的示範（包括 CHAMP、THOR 及盟國的試驗），將效應科學轉化為任務規劃，涵蓋反無人機、基地與艦艇防護、遠征作戰概念，以及太空／空載方案。

• 提供檢核表、強化與緩解技術、脆弱性取捨，以及測試程序，以支援採購、作戰與維持團隊。

• 探討歸因、出口管制／軍民兩用議題，以及軍備控制的影響；最後提出明確的研究議程，為資助者、政策制定者與智庫提供指引。
