Boeing CHAMP missile completes 1st flight test

October 01-15, 2011

Boeing and the US Air Force Research Laboratory Counter-electronics High-power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) has successfully completed the missile’s first flight test earlier this year at the Utah Test and Training Range at Hill Air Force Base.

CHAMP is a non-lethal alternative to kinetic weapons that neutralises electronic targets. It would allow the military to focus on these targets while minimising or eliminating collateral damage.

The CHAMP missile pointed at a set of simulated targets, confirming that the missile could be controlled and timed while using a high-power microwave (HPM) system against multiple targets and locations. The software used was identical to the software required for a vehicle with a fully integrated HPM system on board.

The three-year, $38-million joint capability technology demonstration programme includes ground and flight demonstrations that focus on technology integration risk reduction and military utility. More tests are scheduled for later this year.
