Microwave Igniter 120W

A 120-watt microwave device optimized for precision and range—enough to disable a drone’s avionics from over a kilometer away, or to penetrate lightweight armor to damage internal electronics. The 120W rating is often cited as the “sweet spot” for counter-UAS systems: enough power to be effective, not so much that the system becomes too heavy to deploy. The beam can be pulsed to create high-power spikes or continuous for sustained heating.

Microwave Igniter 120W Example: "The 120W Microwave Igniter was mounted on a tripod. At the push of a button, the target drone fell from the sky. No explosion, no debris, just a dead quadcopter."

Microwave Igniter 150W

A 150-watt microwave device representing the upper end of portable microwave weapons. At 150W, the beam can cut through thin metals by inducing eddy currents, disable armored vehicles by frying their electronics, and generate enough thermal energy to start fires at range. This is the power level where “igniter” becomes an understatement—you’re not just disrupting; you’re destroying. In speculative military circles, 150W is the rumored output of man-portable counter-electronics systems used by special forces.

Example: "The 150W Microwave Igniter fit in a backpack. The demonstration showed it disabling a running engine from 500 meters. The observer asked how many they could have."
