Indeed, I'm not sure if you've been following all the technology in the policing subsector of our economy - however, there are now devices that police officers can use which shoot a dart into the vehicle that is trying to evade police, which introduces a tremendous voltage into the car, and thus fries electrical system and stops the vehicle. Then the suspect can be put under arrest or try to run, and get caught anyway but they won't be able to crash a 4,000 pound car into anyone else.
Now then, it is come to my attention that we may need such a device in the US military. Consider if you will that the new Joint Strike Fighter can only hold a certain number of missiles, because they have to be tucked into the bomb bay area rather than attached to the bottom the wings so the aircraft can maintain stealth capability. What we need is smaller missiles which have the same potential. But what if we could work to remove the warhead, and make the missile more of a dart?
A projectile would puncture into the aircraft of the enemy, and lodge itself into the fuselage or wing, and then they would introduce a huge microwave burst of energy, rendering the aircraft obsolete, or igniting any fuel? And what if the missile or dart actually wound itself up with a small fast spinning propeller harvesting energy and loading up a small battery system as it flew towards the target. One that can only hold a charge for a very short time, albeit a very high voltage charge.
Hopefully, the enemy aircraft would have completely mechanical ejection seats?
If we loaded the stealth aircraft with darts rather than missiles, we could save space, and the space we saved could assist us with the problem and challenges of the number of missiles the aircraft could hold. If we could build these systems very light and cheap we can also fire them like a bullet from a gun, and they might make a good artillery shells which would not kill humans but would disable military equipment. Something that could be used in a nonlethal capacity, and only on rare occasions become lethal.
We could actually load these up on UAVs, which could take out all the approaching vehicles of an enemy Army, and such a weapon could be shot from a shoulder launched system, or from a high-powered ship gun. Indeed I hope you will please consider this concept. Think on it.
