Abstract:

High Power Microwave HPM and Vacuum Electronics VE sources have been studied in support of Air Force needs, under the auspices of the MiPRI initiative, a congressionally mandated program. A consortium of three universities led by the University of New Mexico and including the University of Michigan and MIT have teamed up to perform research on two sources of current interest to the Air Force i the relativistic magnetron operating at L-band for electronic attack, and ii a novel W-band source concept in support of the active denial program. Technical progress on these activities is reported.
