Wait a minute. I thought the purpose of going to war was to kill people and break things.

Once delivered to the theater, am sure a few good troops will figure how to hook it up in series to a few hundred batteries for "enhanced" capabilities.

Ya ought to see the AC generators they put on these things: a HMMV size unit with own genset about 250kW IIRC, and the original version a big honker with separate generator on a trailer. Takes quite a few kW to pump these babies up, figuring the microwave transmitters are likely less than 50% efficient. A couple batteries ain't gonna work.

Now, there might be some power limiters that the creative grunt can bypass, in an "emeegency", yeah, that's the ticket.
