This Workshop aims to review recent advances on high-power microwaves technologies for defense and security, specifi cally :

High-power microwaves are currently the subject of an increase of interest in defense applications, such as area protection and countering IEDs, as well as civil applications like car stopping. Non-lethal capabilities and action range are of key importance. On the other side, dirty weapons, emerging from the diversion of domestic microwave technologies are of primary concern in overseas theaters and mass transportation facilities or fi nancial centers. Legal and ethical issues are also to be considered together with the society’s acceptance of the use of electromagnetic radiations.

• Narrow-band up to ultra-wideband sources, tubes, pulse forming lines, antennas etc.
• High-voltage power supply and energy storage / transformation chain, including batteries for mobile systems
• Specific metrology
• Embedded/portable systems
• Dedicated proving ground facilities
• Biological effects
• Military and civil doctrine.

This Workshop should promote the emergence of future cooperation between academia, governmental agencies and industries, and help to indentify the needs in HPM areas in Europe.

The Workshop is organized within the framework of ISL’s Symposium on Electrical Engineering, and the European Pulsed Power Laboratories (EPPL).
