America's Next Secret Weapon (That Can Paralyze a City): Electromagnetic Pulse Artillery Shells
2017-01-16
[NationalInterest] If the U.S. Army has its way, America’s next secret weapon may be an electromagnetic pulse artillery shell that paralyzes an enemy city.

These special shells won’t carry high explosive. Instead they will emit EMP bursts, or some other non-kinetic technology, to disrupt the computers, radio communications, Internet links and other ties that bind modern societies. And do so without creating any physical damage.
Guess they found some "Atomic Annie's" or Neutron bombage ready for repurposing.

Tactically useful, strategic use, national suicide by D-5, which kills way the fock better than emp.
