Just heard that the military is going to start emp testing in the Olympic forest.
Has anyone heard anything? Looking for conformation.
pffffffffft, that little bit of weenie radiation ain't squat. If you want some of the heavy duty stuff, check out Starfish Prime. Now that's some EMP!So we can't shoot lead bullets or ride ATVs, because the treehuggers want to protect it all but the military can douse it with radiation?
WTF.
Relax guys, it's just practice for jamming micro-wave frequency radar installations. Your Aimpoints, Eotechs, HAM radios, and flashlights will be fine.
The whole "enough radiation to cook human eye tissue" only applies if your standing right in front of the emitter. Remember "Radar Range"? Back in WWII that's how micro-wave ovens were "discovered" and invented!
New iteration of the HARM warhead sensor package. They are doing it in the forest because they want a significant amount of ground inference from trees, rocks, etc. Basically, the military is setting up a SAM site radar in several spots. US Navy, USMC, and Air Force planes will fly simulated theater penetration (coming feet dry in to an enemy country) and try to let the warheads lock the target. The computer will then run a simulation to see if it can hit the target or not. This is basically first run field testing for the software. As for the "EMP testing" that Clive Lewis was talking about, they are going to fire directed EMPs at the aircraft to see if that will "disrupt" the missile locking software. directed EMP bursts and High Altitude Nuclear detonations are WAYYYYYYY different, but people seem to relate all EMP to Armageddon.then why the testing
New technology has to be tested somehow. It could be a new design; smaller with more power, maybe being able to pinpoint diriiect a "jammer beam" at a specific target instead flying over and "whiting out" an entire area, multiple frequencies (and side-bands) simultaneously... Etc.
It may also be they're testing the plane's counter-measure abilities...

No radiation shooting laser killer stuff.
