Champ, which stands for the Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project, is a missile built to fry computers using high-power microwaves.
Its aim is to render an enemy’s military capabilities virtually useless without causing any fatalities.
Champ is understood to have been built by Boeing’s Phantom Works, the advanced prototyping arm of the defence and security side of Boeing, after initially being developed by the US Air Force Research Laboratory.
