Now, here is something that has a real-world application. I'm thinking of times when I go to the store, and someone, usually a younger person, has the stereo with the ear-splitting bass speakers turned all the way up. This is very annoying, especially when the person gets out of his car and leaves the door open, so as to treat the world to his particular taste in music. An EMP device would be most welcome in such a case. Instant shut up.
They are using a similar system, a joint venture between Israel and The USA to take out airborne ordinance...Mortars, missiles.
They've also mounted a similar device on a humvee, it is aimed at a crowd and makes your skin feel like it's being stuck with needles...
