A new technology designed to destroy drones is called THOR – Tactical High-power Operational Responder – created by the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL). It can destroy just one, or an entire fleet of drones at once. An animated video of its capabilities was released on June 8, 2021. The system output is powerful radio wave bursts, which offer a greater engagement range than bullets or nets, and its effects are silent and instantaneous.

Drones have become a significant problem for the US Military. No, not the hobbyist type of drones, but the ones used by enemies who target US military facilities. Unmanned drones armed with explosives can take out buildings, runways, aircraft, vehicles, and people in the blink of an eye. THOR is a “counter swarm electromagnetic” weapon created for the defense of air bases. The dangers of drones – Screenshot via AFRL THOR engages the swarm silently at the speed of light, dropping them out of the sky. Screenshot via AFRL As technology advances for the bad guys, so it is also advancing to defeat them. THOR, a first of its kind system, stows completely in a 20 foot transport container, which can easily be transported in a C-130. The system can be set up within 3 hours and has a user interface that has been designed to require minimal user training. The overall cost to develop the technology was approximately $15 million dollars…
The system uses high power microwaves to cause a counter electronic effect. A target is identified, the silent weapon discharges in a nanosecond and the impact is instantaneous. It only takes two people to set up the weapon, and it’s easily transported. The weapon discharges at the speed of light and it’s cheap compared to other technologies. Protecting military bases with this technology will be more effective for a engaging a fleet of explosive-laden drones than the current range of anti-drone capabilities.
The US Army is also considering investing in THOR, along with […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
